GDTF Stage Studio MCP

An official MCP server provided by the vendor of GDTF Stage Studio that allows AI agents to search for lighting fixtures, retrieve detailed fixture information including DMX modes, generate GDTF downloads, and prepare or generate MVR export files for stage lighting designs.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Identifies lighting fixtures by their DMX channel layout in the GDTF Stage Studio library (https://gdtf-lights.com) of 10500+ fixtures with GDTF profiles, run by SOH Sound & Lights s.r.o., Prague. Give match_dmx_channels the channel names in DMX order from address 1 (from a manual, a console, a fixture-profile TXT or a photo the person describes). It returns the best matching fixtures with score 0-100 and the matched DMX mode, with links to the fixture page and the .gdtf file. With confidence low or same_score_count above 1 say the result is uncertain and ask for the manufacturer or DMX values. Tool errors carry a machine code (code) and, when waiting helps, retry_after_seconds. One JSON-RPC message per POST. Catalog language follows the endpoint URL: English by default; ?lang=cs, de or es. The site publishes no prices or stock. Privacy: https://gdtf-lights.com/api#privacy. Full rules: https://gdtf-lights.com/llms.txt

match_dmx_channels — Identify fixture by DMX channels
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Finds the fixtures whose GDTF profile matches a DMX channel list and the matched DMX mode: channel names in DMX order from address 1 (English, Czech, German or Spanish; abbreviations, synonyms and typos are understood), as in a manual, on a console or in a fixture-profile TXT. Give channels (a list) or text (a pasted list, or a TXT with one or more modes; rows such as "Shutter;0;Closed;32;Open" add DMX values as a tie-breaker). Returns up to limit fixtures with score 0-100, the matched GDTF mode (mode.name and mode.channels), links to the fixture page (url) and the .gdtf file (gdtf_url), confidence and same_score_count (several fixtures with the same layout: ask for the manufacturer or DMX values). Same search as https://gdtf-lights.com/dmx-to-gdtf. Limit per IP: 20000 searches a day and 300 a minute, shared with the JSON API of that page; 500 a minute and 10000 an hour for all API and MCP clients together.
