Silicon Analysts
Pull semiconductor and AI-hardware cost benchmarks into agent research while scoping AI products, infra bets, or hardware-adjacent offerings.
Overview
Silicon Analysts is an MCP server for the Idea phase that returns semiconductor and AI-hardware cost data—including accelerators, HBM, wafers, packaging, and chip calculators—via authenticated streamable HTTP.
What is this MCP server?
- Streamable HTTP remote MCP at siliconanalysts.com/api/mcp
- AI accelerator costs, HBM, wafer pricing, packaging, and chip cost calculator
- Bearer API key auth; free developer tier documented as 100 requests per 24 hours
- Suited to validation memos and build-phase integration specs citing real silicon economics
- Remote MCP version 0.1.0
- Free tier: 100 requests per 24 hours (per server.json description)
What problem does it solve?
Generic search and LLM guesses make it hard to cite credible wafer, memory, and accelerator costs when you are still deciding what to build.
Who is it for?
Indie builders researching AI infra economics, hardware-adjacent SaaS, or pricing models that depend on real chip and memory costs.
Skip if: Teams that only need application-level cloud bills (AWS/GCP calculators) with no semiconductor supply-chain context.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can pull structured silicon pricing and calculator outputs into research notes, scopes, and pitch-ready cost assumptions.
- Agent-grounded semiconductor and accelerator cost snapshots
- Chip cost calculator outputs usable in scope or pitch docs
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Idea because builders usually need wafer, HBM, and accelerator pricing before committing to a product or cost model—not after ship. Research subphase fits market and unit-economics discovery where structured chip-cost data beats generic web search.
How it compares
Specialized semiconductor data MCP, not a general code-intelligence or GitHub skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Silicon Analysts for?
Solo builders and small teams who need agent-accessible semiconductor and AI-hardware cost data during idea and validation research.
When should I use Silicon Analysts?
Use it when comparing AI accelerator economics, HBM or wafer trends, packaging costs, or running chip cost scenarios before you lock product or pricing decisions.
How do I add Silicon Analysts to my agent?
Register for a free API key at siliconanalysts.com/developers, add the remote MCP URL with Authorization Bearer sa_live_xxx in your client headers, then invoke tools from your MCP-enabled agent.
