Parts MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for sourcing electronic parts with multi-EDA integration.

Overview

Parts MCP enables AI assistants to search for electronic components, compare prices, check availability, and process BOMs from popular EDA tools. It provides a unified interface for component sourcing workflows powered by the Source Parts API.

Supported EDA Tools

Tool	BOM Format	Status
KiCad	CSV, XML	Full support + CLI integration
Altium Designer	CSV, XLS	Full support
Autodesk Fusion 360	CSV	Full support
Eagle	CSV, BRD	Full support
PADS	CSV, ASC	Full support
Protel 99	CSV	Full support

Features

Universal Parts Search: Search millions of parts via Source Parts API
Multi-EDA BOM Processing: Import BOMs from KiCad, Altium, Fusion360, Eagle, PADS, Protel99
Component Matching: AI-powered matching with confidence scoring
Price Comparison: Compare prices across distributors
Availability Check: Real-time inventory levels
Alternative Parts: Find drop-in replacements and functional equivalents
KiCad CLI Integration: Generate BOMs directly from schematics
Local Caching: Fast responses with intelligent caching

Installation

Quick Start (Recommended)

uvx parts-mcp

No install needed -- uvx runs it directly from PyPI in an isolated environment.

With pip

pip install parts-mcp

From Source

git clone https://github.com/SourceParts/parts-mcp.git
cd parts-mcp
pip install -e .

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Source Parts API key (get one here)

Configuration

Create a .env file or set environment variables:

# Required
SOURCE_PARTS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Optional
SOURCE_PARTS_API_URL=https://api.source.parts/v1
KICAD_SEARCH_PATHS=/path/to/kicad/projects
PARTS_CACHE_DIR=~/.cache/parts-mcp
CACHE_EXPIRY_HOURS=24

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parts": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["parts-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOURCE_PARTS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

If installed from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parts": {
      "command": "/path/to/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/parts-mcp/main.py"],
      "env": {
        "SOURCE_PARTS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, restart Claude Desktop.

Claude.ai Integration (Remote)

Connect directly from claude.ai without any local installation:

Open claude.ai in your browser
Go to Settings > Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Enter the URL: https://mcp.source.parts/
Complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted
Start using Parts tools in any conversation

No API key needed -- authentication is handled via OAuth.

Claude Code Integration

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parts": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["parts-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOURCE_PARTS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run directly:

claude --mcp-server "python -m parts_mcp"

Usage Examples

Search for Parts

"Find a 10k resistor in 0603 package"

Process a BOM

"Upload my Altium BOM and find the best prices for 100 units"

KiCad Integration

"Extract the BOM from my amplifier.kicad_sch and source all components"

Find Alternatives

"Find alternatives for the obsolete LM358"
