Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| HOST | No | Host for SSE transport | 0.0.0.0 |
| PORT | No | Port for SSE transport | 8080 |
| TRANSPORT | No | Transport mode ('stdio' or 'sse') | stdio |
| GATEWAY_URL | No | URL of the Ignition gateway for live tools | |
| GATEWAY_PASSWORD | No | Password for gateway authentication | |
| GATEWAY_USERNAME | No | Username for gateway authentication |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| pingA | Health check — verify the server is running. |
| get_tagsA | Get tags from an Ignition project, optionally filtered by folder path. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. tag_path: Optional folder path to filter (e.g. "Conveyors/Line1"). provider: Tag provider name (default: "default"). Use list_tag_providers to discover. |
| list_tag_providersA | List all tag provider names in an Ignition project (e.g. 'default', 'edge'). Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. |
| list_viewsA | List all Perspective view paths in an Ignition project. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. |
| get_viewA | Get a Perspective view's component tree, bindings, and structure. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. view_path: View path (e.g. "Overview" or "Screens/MotorDetail"). |
| list_scriptsA | List all scripts in an Ignition project with their scope. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. |
| get_scriptA | Get the source code of an Ignition project script. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. script_path: Script resource path (from list_scripts output). |
| list_udtsB | List all UDT (User Defined Type) names in an Ignition project. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. |
| get_udtB | Get UDT definition(s) with member details. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. udt_name: Optional UDT name. If empty, returns all UDTs. |
| list_alarmsB | List all alarm pipeline names in an Ignition project. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. |
| get_alarmA | Get an alarm pipeline's configuration including stages, notifications, and transitions. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. pipeline_name: Alarm pipeline name (from list_alarms output). |
| list_named_queriesA | List all named query names in an Ignition project. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. |
| get_named_queryA | Get a named query's SQL, parameters, database connection, and type. Args: project_path: Path to Ignition project directory or .zip export. query_name: Named query name (from list_named_queries output). |
| read_tagA | Read the current value of one or more tags from a live Ignition gateway. Requires the server to be started with --gateway-url pointing to an Ignition gateway with the WebDev module installed. Args: tag_path: Tag path(s), comma-separated for multiple (e.g. "[default]Conveyors/Line1/Speed"). |
| write_tagA | Write a value to a tag on a live Ignition gateway. Requires the server to be started with --gateway-url. The value is sent as-is; the gateway handles type coercion. Args: tag_path: Full tag path (e.g. "[default]Conveyors/Line1/Speed"). value: Value to write (string representation — gateway coerces to tag data type). |
| execute_scriptA | Execute a Python script on the Ignition gateway and return the result. Requires the server to be started with --gateway-url. The script runs in gateway scope with access to system.* functions. Args: code: Python code to execute on the gateway. |
| get_historyA | Query historical tag data from a live Ignition gateway. Requires the server to be started with --gateway-url and a historian configured on the gateway. Args: tag_path: Full tag path (e.g. "[default]Conveyors/Line1/Speed"). start: Start time as ISO 8601 (e.g. "2026-04-12T00:00:00Z"). end: End time as ISO 8601 (e.g. "2026-04-12T12:00:00Z"). |

TDQS
Scored across 17 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource or operation. The 'list_' vs 'get_' pattern clearly separates enumeration from detailed retrieval, and runtime operations (read_tag, write_tag, execute_script, get_history) are distinct from static project inspection tools. No overlapping purposes.
All tools use a consistent verb_noun naming convention with underscores (e.g., get_tags, list_views, write_tag). Even 'ping' follows the verb pattern. No mixing of styles or irregular patterns.
17 tools cover both static project exploration (list/get for multiple resource types) and live gateway operations (script execution, history, tag I/O). The scope is well-defined without being overwhelming, and each tool has a clear purpose.
The tool set covers the main Ignition project resources (views, scripts, tags, alarms, queries, UDTs) and critical runtime operations. Minor omissions exist (e.g., no tool to list tag provider properties, no update operations) but are reasonable for a read- and query-focused server.
