Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

brand
get_brand
One supplier in full: what they make, the product families they run, and — the field worth the call — doesNotDo, a statement of what they genuinely do NOT make, computed from absence in their product list rather than inferred from their marketing.
brands
list_brands
Every supplier on file with what they cover, how complete their data is, and when it was last read. No contact details — see the server instructions.
categories
list_categories
The 20 canonical categories with Persian and English names, product counts, and which suppliers are in each. Small enough to fetch once and reason over the whole market; flags categories that only one supplier covers.
classify
classify_lighting_term
Map any Persian or English lighting phrase onto the canonical taxonomy — «داون‌لایت توکار», 'trimless plaster frame', 'high bay'. Backed by 522 learned type→category pairs plus rules measured at 95% agreement. Returns null for a phrase that names no category rather than guessing.
compare
compare_brands
Which suppliers cover a category, with counts, share, and per-facet data coverage. Coverage describes what each supplier's SOURCE stated, never product quality, and a one-supplier category says so rather than pretending to be a comparison.
product
get_product
Every field on file for one product, by the id search_products returns ('brand/product-slug'), including provenance: whether the fact came from the supplier's own website or from a page of their PDF catalog, and when it was read.
products
search_products
Search the catalog of real products stocked by the suppliers on file. Accepts Persian or English. Returns normalized facets (mounting, indoor/outdoor, IP, colour temperature, and wattage/lumen where stated) plus what the query matched on. Colour temperature is returned but is NOT filterable: a fixture is usually sold in several, and the row carries the one its source printed. The response always reports what the filters excluded and why, split into 'not stated in our data' and 'did not match' — a product missing from a result is NEVER evidence that a supplier does not make it; use get_brand's doesNotDo for that.
start
start_consultation
Turn a described need into a link the person opens themselves, where an adviser builds a brief and matches it against suppliers' real stock. This is how someone actually reaches a supplier: there are no contact details in this server, and this call does not contact anyone. It stores nothing and it REFUSES any personal data — no name, no number, no email. Describe the project, not the person.

Lighting — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lighting do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: classify_lighting_term, compare_brands, get_brand, get_product, list_brands, list_categories and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Lighting working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 91 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 326 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Lighting as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Lighting?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Lighting need an API key?
No. Lighting completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Lighting?
It answers our handshake in 326 ms on average, which is faster than 43% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
