# Semiconductor Supply Chain MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides structured access to semiconductor industry B2B platforms like AnySilicon and DesignReuse. This intelligent agent acts as a professional IP core and ASIC service procurement expert.
## Features
- **Find IP Vendors**: Search for IP core suppliers by category, technology, and requirements
- **Find ASIC Services**: Locate ASIC design, verification, and manufacturing services
- **Price Estimation**: Get cost estimates for various semiconductor services
- **Vendor Comparison**: Compare multiple vendors based on various criteria
- **Natural Language Support**: Process natural language queries about semiconductor supply chain
- **Industry Resources**: Access semiconductor glossary, vendor directory, and process node information
## Installation
```bash
npm install
npm run build
```
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 16+ required
- TypeScript will be installed locally with dependencies
- No global TypeScript installation needed
### Quick Verification
Test the server after building:
```bash
# Test server starts correctly
node dist/index.js
# Run comprehensive tests
npm run test:mcp
# Test Claude Desktop integration
npm run test:desktop
```
## Usage
### As MCP Server
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"semiconductor-supply-chain": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/semiconductor-supply-chain-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
> **Note**: Replace `/path/to/semiconductor-supply-chain-mcp` with your actual installation directory. The server must be built (`npm run build`) before use.
### Troubleshooting
If the server shows as disabled in Claude Desktop:
1. **Verify the build**: Ensure `dist/index.js` exists
2. **Check the path**: Use absolute paths in the configuration
3. **Restart Claude Desktop**: Quit and restart after configuration changes
4. **Check logs**: Use Developer Tools to see connection errors
For detailed troubleshooting, see [debug-claude-desktop.md](debug-claude-desktop.md).
### Available Tools
1. **find_ip_vendors**
- Search for IP core vendors
- Filter by category, subcategory, process node, power requirements
- Example: Find DDR5 PHY IP vendors for 7nm process
2. **find_asic_services**
- Find ASIC design and manufacturing services
- Filter by service type, technology, capabilities
- Example: Find verification services for 5nm designs
3. **get_price_estimation**
- Estimate costs for ASIC NRE, IP licensing, mask sets
- Provides cost breakdown and notes
- Example: Estimate ASIC NRE for 7nm high-complexity design
4. **compare_vendors**
- Compare multiple vendors side-by-side
- Customizable comparison criteria
- Provides recommendations based on analysis
5. **natural_language_query**
- Process natural language queries about semiconductor supply chain
- Automatically extracts intent and parameters
- Examples: "Find DDR5 IP vendors for 7nm", "What's the NRE cost for 5nm ASIC?"
### Available Resources
1. **semiconductor://glossary** - Comprehensive glossary of industry terms
2. **semiconductor://industry-knowledge** - Vendor info and key considerations
3. **semiconductor://process-nodes** - Detailed process node information
4. **semiconductor://vendors** - Complete vendor directory by category
