SheetsData MCP

Electronic component datasheets for AI agents — specs, pinouts, package data on demand. No PDFs required.

SheetsData is an MCP server that gives AI agents instant, structured access to electronic component data. One tool call returns the pinout. Another returns electrical specs. No PDFs. No uploads. No context window stuffing.

Beta — SheetsData is currently in public beta. APIs, pricing, and features may change. See Disclaimer below.

Demo

Agent: read_datasheet("TPS54302", section="pinout")
→ Pin table: BOOT(6), EN(5), FB(4), GND(1), SW(2), VIN(3)

Agent: check_design_fit("TPS54302", input_voltage=12, output_current=2)
→ PASS — all parameters within datasheet limits

Agent: "What's the maximum SPI clock frequency for the STM32G030?"
→ Uses read_datasheet to find electrical specs — returns 32 MHz

Agent: find_alternative("TPS54302", constraints="in_stock")
→ MP2315, TPS54331 ranked by package/spec match

The agent never sees a PDF. The engineer never uploads one.

Authentication — pick OAuth, fall back to API key

SheetsData supports two auth paths. Use whichever works best for your client; both bill against the same org.

Recommended: OAuth. It's a single URL paste, no copy-pasting secrets, and you can yank a connected app from the dashboard at any time.

Quickest paths (one-click install)

Claude Desktop — download the .mcpb bundle from the latest GitHub release and drag-and-drop it into the Claude Desktop window. The install dialog will surface every tool the bundle provides before confirming. Leave the API key field blank to use OAuth (recommended) — Claude Desktop will open a browser tab on first use to authorize. No JSON editing.

Cursor or VS Code — single-click install pre-fills the config and prompts to authorize on first use.

For everything else, copy the snippet from the right section below.

Install

Claude Desktop

Easiest — drag-and-drop the bundled extension. Download the latest sheetsdata-x.y.z.mcpb from the Releases page and drop the file onto the Claude Desktop window. Claude shows the list of tools the bundle provides and installs it. Leave the API key field blank to use OAuth (recommended) — a browser tab opens on first use to authorize. No JSON editing, no npm install.

Or — add a remote connector via the UI. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector at the bottom of the list.

Click Add. Claude Desktop will open a browser tab to the SheetsData consent screen — pick the org to authorize, and you're done. Tools appear in Claude immediately.

Note: The claude_desktop_config.json file does not support the OAuth flow on Claude Desktop. The Connectors UI is the right path for OAuth — only fall back to the JSON config if you want to use an API key instead.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Get a key from sheetsdata.com/dashboard/keys.

Claude Code

claude mcp add sheetsdata --transport http "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp"

Claude Code will print a one-time OAuth URL — open it, authorize, done.

claude mcp add sheetsdata \
  --transport http \
  "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor

Click the Install in Cursor badge above, or add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor → MCP panel → SheetsData → Connect.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Click the Install in VS Code badge above, or add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code will prompt you to authorize on first use.

{
  "servers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf and click Connect on the SheetsData entry.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

{
  "amp.mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {

}

Amp will run the OAuth flow on first use.

{
  "amp.mcpServers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

Zed

Add to Zed settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "sheetsdata": {
      "settings": {
        "url": "https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Continue.dev

Continue doesn't yet support the MCP OAuth flow — use an API key.

Add to ~/.continue/config.yaml:

mcpServers:
  - name: sheetsdata
    url: https://mcp.sheetsdata.com/mcp
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

npx (stdio proxy for any client)

For clients that only support stdio transport:

SHEETSDATA_API_KEY=your_key npx @sheetsdata/mcp

Need an API key?

1. Sign up at sheetsdata.com/signup (30 seconds, free credits)

2. Go to Dashboard → API Keys

3. Click Create key, copy the token, paste it into your config

You can also manage OAuth-authorized apps from the same page — see who has connected, when, and revoke any of them with one click.

Recommended Workflow

1. search_parts       → Find candidates by keyword or part number
2. get_part_details    → Evaluate pricing, stock, parameters
3. read_datasheet      → Get detailed specs (pinout, electrical, package)
4. check_design_fit    → Validate against your operating conditions
5. find_alternative    → Find substitutes if needed
6. compare_parts       → Side-by-side comparison of finalists
