Summary
Part selection without a browser full of tabs.
The filters are where the time goes. "In stock, RoHS compliant, has a datasheet, sorted by price at quantity 100" is one call here — and when the part turns out to be gone, the substitutions tool answers the next question straight away.
What it is
An MCP server over DigiKey's Product Search API, built with FastMCP. It covers the search side — keyword, manufacturer, category — and the part side: details, media, pricing and substitutions.
What you get
- Keyword search with sorting, filtering and a result limit you set
- Filters for InStock, RoHSCompliant, LeadFree, HasDatasheet, HasProductPhoto and NewProduct
- Sorting by price, quantity available, minimum quantity, product status and manufacturer part number
- Full detail on a part by part number
- Substitute parts for a part number, with marketplace listings excludable
- Images, documents and videos for a part, plus standard and DigiReel pricing at a requested quantity

Setup effort
Build from source — clone the repository and build it, then point your client at the binary
