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 4.3/5 across 10 of 10 tools scored.
Each tool targets a distinct operation: ID conversion, Europe PMC search, article fetch, fulltext fetch, related articles, citation formatting, citation lookup, MeSH lookup, PubMed search, and spell check. No functional overlap.
Tool names consistently use the 'pubmed_' prefix followed by a descriptive phrase, with most following a verb_noun pattern (e.g., pubmed_fetch_articles). However, 'pubmed_europepmc_search' reverses the order (noun_verb), which is a minor inconsistency.
10 tools cover a comprehensive range of PubMed-related tasks without being excessive. Each tool serves a distinct purpose, making the set well-scoped for biomedical literature retrieval.
The tool set covers all major PubMed operations: search, fetch metadata, fetch fulltext, convert IDs, find related articles, format citations, lookup citations, explore MeSH, and spell-check queries. No obvious gaps for a read-only PubMed interface.
