Laddoc Cloud MCP Server

LadDoc Cloud — LadDoc → SimaticML over MCP

LadDoc Cloud turns a ladder-logic document (LadDoc IR) into SimaticML that TIA Portal imports directly — with a strict validation gate in front of the generator.

This repository is documentation and client configuration only. The service runs at tia.hubwiz.com; its implementation is not open source.

• Endpoint: https://tia.hubwiz.com/lad/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless, POST JSON-RPC)
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer lad_live_… (the X-API-Key header is also accepted)
• Dashboard / API keys: https://tia.hubwiz.com/lad
• Registry entry: io.github.tia-forge/laddoc-cloud (official MCP Registry)

What it does

Behaviour worth knowing:

• Validation is the gate. One issue and no XML is produced — you never hand TIA Portal a block that cannot be imported. Fix and retry; the remaining issues come back in full.
• Deterministic output. The same LadDoc always produces byte-identical SimaticML; UIds and connections are assigned by the generator.
• Target format: V19 SimaticML documents.
• Optional cross-check: pass the target project's inventory to catch symbol mismatches before generation.
• One document per call: to generate several blocks, call once per block (called FC/FBs are submitted as their own documents).

First calls

// free — confirm which LAD-IR bundle this service implements
{ "name": "lad_version", "arguments": {} }

// validate, then generate
{ "name": "lad_validate", "arguments": { "doc": { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "block": { /* … */ } } } }
{ "name": "lad_generate", "arguments": { "doc": { /* same doc */ } } }

Pricing

WeChat login on the dashboard issues a key immediately: 100 calls free. Handshake requests (initialize, tools/list) and lad_version are free.

Notes

• This service produces text/XML; it does not touch a running TIA Portal. To import the result and compile it, use TIA Portal itself or the on-machine gateway (TiaLink).
• Free companion: PLC Cloud Sim runs the logic before you import it.
