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 3.6/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored.
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between 'search' and 'list-collections' as both can retrieve collections, and the three 'view-*' tools for search results, similar works, and works might be confused since they all serve viewing functions. However, descriptions clarify their specific contexts, reducing ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with hyphens, such as 'get-work', 'list-collections', 'search', 'similarity-search', and 'view-*' variants. This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to navigate.
With 8 tools, the count is well-scoped for a digital collections API, covering core operations like retrieval, listing, searching, and viewing without being overwhelming. Each tool appears to serve a specific, necessary function in the domain.
The tool set provides good coverage for accessing and exploring digital collections, including metadata retrieval, collection listing, search, and similarity-based discovery. A minor gap is the lack of update or delete operations, which might be intentional for a read-only API, but it covers the essential read and view workflows effectively.

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
