Summary
Procurement research that starts with numbers.
Vendor search and price estimation sit in the same place, so 'who does DDR5 PHY at an advanced node' and 'what will that cost' are one conversation rather than a fortnight of enquiry emails.
What it is
An MCP server over semiconductor B2B platforms including AnySilicon and DesignReuse. It searches IP core vendors by category and process node, finds ASIC design, verification and manufacturing services, estimates cost for NRE, IP licensing and mask sets, compares vendors, and takes the whole question in plain language.
What you get
- IP core vendors found by category, subcategory, process node and power requirement
- ASIC design, verification and manufacturing services by service type and capability
- Cost estimates for ASIC NRE, IP licensing and mask sets, with a breakdown
- Several vendors compared on criteria you choose
- A plain-language question answered against the same data
- Industry reference material: a glossary, a vendor directory and process node information
Requirements
Node.js 16 or later. Clone and build with npm install and npm run build before the client can start it - a missing dist/index.js is why the server shows as disabled - and use an absolute path in the client config.
