Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP_LLM_MODEL | No | LLM model name (e.g., gpt-4o for OpenAI, qwen-max for DashScope). | |
| OPENAI_API_KEY | No | OpenAI API key (required if MCP_API_PROVIDER is 'openai'). | |
| MCP_API_PROVIDER | Yes | Model provider: 'openai' or 'dashscope'. | |
| DASHSCOPE_API_KEY | No | DashScope API key (required if MCP_API_PROVIDER is 'dashscope'). | |
| MCP_CACHE_DIRECTORY | Yes | Directory where cache files are stored. | |
| MCP_EMBEDDING_MODEL | No | Embedding model name (e.g., text-embedding-3-small for OpenAI, text-embedding-v3 for DashScope). | |
| OPENAI_API_BASE_URL | No | Custom OpenAI API base URL (optional). | |
| MCP_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY | Yes | Sandboxed directory from which the server is allowed to read files. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: two different summarization strategies, a quick preview, regex search, and semantic retrieval. Even the two summarization tools are differentiated by their approach (map-reduce vs. sequential notes), so an agent can reliably select the right one.
Most tools follow a verb_with_modifier pattern (e.g., summarize_with_map_reduce, search_with_regex). 'glance' is a simple verb without a modifier, which is a minor deviation but still clear and consistent with the overall verb-first style.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for a document reader/summarizer. Each tool serves a distinct function and none feel redundant or superfluous, making the count appropriate for the domain.
The core workflows of previewing, searching, retrieving, and summarizing are covered. A minor gap is the lack of a direct full-text extraction tool, but this is likely intentional for long-context handling and agents can work around it using glance or retrieval.
