Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 420 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name plcgateway-support.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 420 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 420 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    10 of 19 parameters have a description (53%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 5

device_support

Checks whether a PLC, CNC, controller family, model, brand or protocol is supported and returns its page: which driver, connection settings, address syntax with examples, what can be read, tips and FAQ. Examples: "S7-1200", "CompactLogix", "MELSEC iQ-R", "FANUC 0i-F", "Modbus RTU", "IEC 104", "BACnet". Without a match it lists the supported protocols.

Discovered
price_quote

Calculates the list price of PLCGateway licences in EUR, excluding VAT: product, number of computers, optional modules (SCADA and Embedded only) and optional years of updates and support after the first year (included). Licences are perpetual, one per computer, with every driver and no device or tag limit. Embedded and Enterprise are priced on request: offer request_demo then.

Discovered
product_info

Explains what a PLCGateway product, module or topic is for, who it is for, what it includes and how it works, from the official website. Topics: overview (compare Connect, SCADA and Embedded, what each includes, platforms), connect (machine connectivity and OPC UA server), scada (screens, alarms, history, reports, OEE), embedded (operator panel on the device's own display, ARM panels, panel PCs), quality_maintenance (module: SPC control charts, maintenance plans, CMMS), energy (module: ISO 50001 energy management), oee_production (production model, OEE, batches, downtime), ai_mcp (the MCP server built into every product and what AI assistants can do with it), integrations (OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP server, REST API), protocols (all drivers and supported controllers), pricing (prices, licences, trial, maintenance), plc_gateway_guide (what a PLC gateway is), kepserverex_migration (moving tags from KEPServerEX), contact, references (customers and installations: in use at factories in many countries, names not published).

Discovered
request_demo

Sends a demo, trial or offer request to the PLCGateway team by e-mail; they answer the user directly. Ask the user for their name and e-mail address; company, phone, the product they are interested in and a short description of their machines and goals are optional but help. Never invent, guess or reuse contact details the user did not give for this request. Before calling, show the user exactly what will be sent and ask for permission; set user_confirmed to true only after they explicitly agreed. Their details are used only to answer the request (privacy notice: https://plcgateway.com/privacy).

Discovered
search_docs

Searches all pages of plcgateway.com (products, modules, protocols, controllers, guides) and returns the best matching pages with URL and summary. Follow up with product_info or device_support for the full text.
