Glama MCP Gateway
Connect through Glama MCP Gateway for full control over tool access and complete visibility into every call.
Full call logging
Every tool call is logged with complete inputs and outputs, so you can debug issues and audit what your agents are doing.
Tool access control
Enable or disable individual tools per connector, so you decide what your agents can and cannot do.
Managed credentials
Glama handles OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic rotation, so credentials never expire on your clients.
Usage analytics
See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.4/5 across 7 of 7 tools scored.
Each tool targets a distinct operation: page metadata, sections, content search, organisation profiles, organisation listing, postcode lookup, and full-text search. No two tools overlap in purpose, so an agent can clearly differentiate them.
All tools follow the 'govuk_verb_noun' pattern (e.g., govuk_get_content, govuk_list_organisations) using imperative verbs. The naming is uniform and predictable, with only minor variation in verb choice (get, grep, lookup) but no mixing of conventions.
Seven tools is ideal for the scope of reading GOV.UK data: page content (3 tools), organisations (2), postcode lookup (1), and search (1). Each tool serves a necessary function without being excessive or insufficient.
The tool set covers the primary read operations for the domain: retrieving page structure and content, searching across content, browsing and fetching organisations, and looking up postcodes. While there is no single tool to fetch all sections at once, the combination of get_content and get_section covers it adequately. No obvious gaps for a read-only API.

The connector status is unhealthy when Glama is unable to successfully connect to the server. This can happen for several reasons:
The server is experiencing an outage
The URL of the server is wrong
Credentials required to access the server are missing or invalid
