How do I use MADRIX MCP?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MADRIX MCP set master to 75%" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

MADRIX MCP

An MCP server for MADRIX LED lighting software. Exposes 108 tools covering storage/deck control, layer management, cue lists, timelines, groups, audio, output, global colors, ticker/BPM, and generated layer control families — all via the MADRIX Remote HTTP interface.

Built for live production. Pairs with grandMA2 MCP, Resolume MCP, Companion MCP, and Beyond MCP for full AI-driven show control.

Official MADRIX Remote HTTP docs:

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/drohi-r/madrix-mcp && cd madrix-mcp
uv sync
uv run python -m madrix_mcp

Make sure MADRIX Remote HTTP is enabled and reachable on the configured HTTP port.

For remote control:

use LAN or WireGuard, not the public internet
set MADRIX_HOST to the MADRIX machine
include that host in MADRIX_ALLOWED_HOSTS

Codex

Create a codex.json MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "madrix": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/madrix-mcp", "python", "-m", "madrix_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MADRIX_HOST": "127.0.0.1",

        "MADRIX_SAFETY_PROFILE": "show-safe"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then run Codex with:

codex --mcp-config codex.json

Production safety

This server is designed for live show environments where accidental writes can disrupt a running LED installation.

Host allowlisting — only 127.0.0.1, localhost, and ::1 are permitted by default. Add LAN hosts explicitly via MADRIX_ALLOWED_HOSTS. Set * to allow any host.
Read-only mode — set MADRIX_READ_ONLY=1 to block all write operations. Health, config, and read tools remain available.
Confirm-destructive gating — set MADRIX_CONFIRM_DESTRUCTIVE=1 to require confirm=true on destructive operations including SetBlackout, SetMaster, storage deck switches, and cue-list play changes.
Safety profiles — MADRIX_SAFETY_PROFILE gives you a sane starting point: lab (wide open), show-safe (destructive confirmation), or read-only (no writes).
Raw escape hatches — get_remote and set_remote allow any MADRIX Remote HTTP function, but are still gated by the same safety model.
Input validation — all tools validate parameters before any HTTP call is made. Invalid inputs return structured JSON errors, never raw exceptions.
Error isolation — all tools are wrapped in error handlers. Network failures, validation failures, and unexpected exceptions return {"ok": false, "error": "..."} instead of crashing the MCP session.

Live validation

Validated against a real MADRIX instance on 192.168.20.179:80:

health_check, get_product, get_cuelist_summary, get_storage_state
get_audio_state, get_output_state, get_timeline_summary, get_group_summary
get_storage_place_details, set_master, set_fade_value
Generated group write path via SetGroupValue
