Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
MCP Graphql Tools (2)
introspect-schema
This tool retrieves the GraphQL schema. Use this first if you don't have access to the schema as a resource.
query-graphql
Execute GraphQL queries against the endpoint. By default, mutations are disabled unless `ALLOW_MUTATIONS` is set to `true`.
Labelixa Tools (21)
zpl_preview
Render ZPL label code and return the label as a PNG image. Use this to SEE what ZPL output looks like — LLMs can write ZPL but cannot otherwise verify the visual result. One call renders one label (use `index` to pick a label from a multi-label stream).
zpl_validate
Lint ZPL code and return structured diagnostics: unknown commands, missing ^FS, out-of-range parameters, fields outside the label boundary. Run this before zpl_preview when generating ZPL.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
