Silicon Analysts

io.github.siliconanalysts/silicon-analysts

Connects Claude to live semiconductor cost data from siliconanalysts.com via their public API. Exposes chip manufacturing economics, HBM pricing, wafer costs across nodes from 180nm to 2nm, and BOM breakdowns for 13 AI accelerators including B200 and H100. Four JSON endpoints cover accelerator specs, HBM market data, fab details, and 30+ analysis articles. Reach for this when modeling chip economics, comparing foundry options, or answering questions about GPU manufacturing costs with current data instead of stale training cutoffs. No API key required. The MCP layer turns their cost calculators and market intelligence into structured queries Claude can run mid-conversation.
