This page shows how Open Archives (io.github.coret/openarchieven-mcp-server)'s tool descriptions scored, the issues found and the names of its tools and parameters. The descriptions are the server's own: read them where the copy came from.

Forecall asked the URL this server lists in the official MCP Registry for its tools/list once, on the date above, without calling any tool. The server may have changed since.
