GutenLex.org
Public Beta
The open vocabulary of print, put to work.
One meaning across every language of print — one identity for every product.
GutenLex · Built on PTPGE · CC BY 4.0 · REST API · MCP server · UCP capability
GutenLex is becoming the backbone technology of the print and graphic-arts industry — a new way of doing business. Machines, materials, methods and products become open building blocks in one shared structure — the Periodic Table of Print & Graphic Elements, the open PTPGE specification — one vocabulary, readable by people, systems, LLMs and AI agents.
Start building → Get in touch
No application, no key: the specification, the API and the MCP server are open. When you publish a Vendor Profile on GutenLex you sign in with your e-mail — one click in your inbox, nothing to keep. Early adopters shape the specification — and the register remembers who was first.

Why join

One vocabulary, machine-readable

850 open terms under CC BY 4.0 — products, machines, materials and methods as building blocks. Query by meaning, not by SKU.

Live API + MCP server

REST for systems, MCP tools for LLMs and AI agents: search the specification, read a product's options, validate a configuration. Callable today.

Verifiable identity built in

Every configuration resolves to one GutenLex fingerprint — hash for systems, QR for the camera, mark for the eye. Permanent, never retired.

How it works
1

Open ptpge.org — the API, the MCP server and every term are public, no key, no sign-up.

2

Explore: 850 terms and 56 product templates via REST or the MCP tools.

3

Validate configurations and resolve them to permanent fingerprints at ptpge.org/f/.
