Silicon Analysts Data API

Structured semiconductor data for AI agents, applications, and researchers. Free to use — no API key required for read endpoints.

Connect to AI Agents (MCP)

New

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants like Claude directly query Silicon Analysts data during conversations — no manual copy-paste needed. Ask about chip costs, wafer pricing, or supply chain trends and get live data in real time.

Example Prompts

After connecting, try asking Claude:

“What's the current wafer price range for TSMC N3?”
“Calculate chip cost for a 10x10mm die on N3 with CoWoS packaging”
“Compare H100 vs B200 manufacturing cost breakdown”
“What are the latest supply chain signals in advanced packaging?”
