What to fix (7)

The endpoint did not complete an MCP handshake.

Check the URL, TLS certificate and that the server answers a JSON-RPC "initialize" POST. How to fix →

5 tool definition(s) exceed ~1,200 tokens each (largest: cloning_next_observation, ~1,893).

Move long reference material out of descriptions (link a doc or expose a resource), drop repeated examples, and collapse large enums. Trimming these to ~600 tokens saves ~5,887 tokens every session. How to fix →

Tools: cloning_next_observation, cloning_diagnose, editing_plate_quantify, verify_assembly, cloning_simulate · saves ~5,887 tokens/session

114 tools on one server. Tool-selection accuracy drops as the menu grows, and some clients (e.g. Cursor) cap the number of active tools.

Group tools by task into smaller servers or toolsets, and merge near-duplicates behind one tool with a mode parameter. How to fix →

28 parameter(s) across 16 tool(s) have no description.

Add a "description" to each parameter with its format and an example ("ISO 8601 date, e.g. 2026-10-17"). This is the commonest cause of wrong arguments on the first call. How to fix →

Tools: codon_adaptation_index, codon_optimize, construct_autofix, format_sequence, id_map_poll and 11 more

7 tool(s) look like they change state (create/send/delete/pay…) but declare no destructiveHint.

Set annotations {"readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": true|false, "idempotentHint": …}. Clients use these to ask the user before a side effect and to auto-approve safe reads. How to fix →

Tools: cloning_next_observation, crispr_ontarget, golden_gate_design, id_map_submit, ligation_setup and 2 more

Loading this server's tool list costs an agent ~47,432 tokens before any work — more than 99% of MCP servers.

Split rarely-used tools into a separate server or a toolset the client can enable, or expose one "search tools" entry point. Many agents load every connected server's tools into every request. How to fix →

No tool declares an outputSchema.

Declare outputSchema and return structuredContent (MCP 2025-06-18+). Agents can then parse results without guessing, and chain tools reliably. How to fix →

FAQ

Is the Seqbench Workbench MCP server down right now?

As of 2026-10-25 04:09 UTC, the Seqbench Workbench MCP server is unknown with a Glimind reliability score of 51/100 (grade D). Over the last 30 days it answered 0% of Glimind's liveness checks. It had 2 outages in 90 days, with a median recovery of 7 minutes.

How many tools does Seqbench Workbench MCP server provide?

Seqbench Workbench MCP server advertises 114 tools, including alphafold_lookup, aso_design, assembly_outcomes, band_traceback, base_edit_quant.

How do I install Seqbench Workbench MCP server?

Point your MCP client at this streamable-http endpoint: https://seqbench.com/api/mcp

Is the Seqbench Workbench MCP server safe to connect to an AI agent?

Glimind scanned all 114 tool definitions for tool-poisoning patterns — hidden or invisible characters, instructions that override the model, concealment from the user, requests to read credential or MCP config files, conversation exfiltration and cross-tool shadowing — and found none. This checks what the server tells the model, not what its code does; review the source before granting access to sensitive data.
