Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers

Overview of Our Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers 

Our MCP servers employ the Model Context Protocol to power AI chatbots and intelligent applications. They enable structured, real-time access to product data, documentation, inventory and technical content using natural language queries from MCP clients.

Built on MCP Streamable HTTP standards, these servers deliver context-aware responses optimized for AI clients such as assistants, AI chatbots, Large Language Model (LLM)-based Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and enterprise AI agents. They integrate our data directly into development environments and intelligent assistants. All our MCP servers are publicly accessible at no cost and require no authentication.

We currently offer two MCP servers, each serving a distinct purpose:

  • Microchip MCP Server: structured product data, specifications, inventory and compliance
  • MPLAB-DOCS MCP Server: vectorized technical content, code examples, videos, training and reference designs

Most users connect to both servers—one helps ground the AI in which device to use and whether it is available, while the other focuses on how to design with it and write code for it.

Microchip Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

How to Use Microchip MCP Server

Microchip MCP Server is a remote MCP server that uses Streamable HTTP. It is compatible with MCP-based client applications that can connect to the endpoint.

Access the MCP Server

Core Capabilities

  • Context-aware and verified responses directly from our systems
  • Up-to-date access to product specifications, stock levels, lead times and export control data
  • Supports chatbots, assistants, ChatGPT, Claude® and any MCP-enabled clients to enable current, consistent and contextual information delivery

Model Data Context Coverage

  • The Microchip MCP Server’s data model includes comprehensive product and supply chain information:
    • Identification: part number, description, product type and URLs
    • Physical Specs: package type, dimensions, lead count and weight
    • Supply Chain: stock quantities, lead times, order multiples and packaging options
    • Documentation: datasheets, images, product specification data and user guides
    • Compliance: RoHS, ECCN, HTSUS, MSL, country of origin, etc.

Integration and Usage

  • No authentication is required to access the Microchip MCP Server
  • Users can connect via their preferred MCP-enabled clients such as agentic IDEs, chatbots, assistants or MCP inspectors
  • Supports natural language queries such as:
    • "Overview of ATmega328P”
    • “Is dsPIC33FJ128GP802 RoHS compliant?”
  • Returns JSON-structured data including specifications, documentation links and inventory information

Key Benefits

  • Delivers up-to-date, live data for faster decision-making
  • Eliminates manual searches and outdated information
  • Enables automation across design, sourcing and compliance workflows
  • Integrates directly with our verified systems to maintain up-to-date data

Note: This endpoint is designed for programmatic access by MCP clients via Streamable HTTP. It does not support direct access from a web browser and may return an error if accessed manually. It is governed by the MCP Server Terms of Use below.

Microchip MCP Server Terms of Use

Your access and use of Microchip MCP Server is governed by our Website Terms of Use (“Terms”). By accessing or using the MCP Server, you agree to be bound by these Terms and the additional terms below.

Permitted Use: You may use the MCP Server solely to access publicly available Microchip data for lawful purposes, including integration with AI tools and agents, provided such use complies with these Terms and applicable laws.

Use Restrictions: You shall not: (a) use the MCP Server for any unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, or abusive purpose; (b) overload or impair Microchip systems, networks, or infrastructure; (c) engage in denial-of-service attacks, security probing, or attempts to bypass use restrictions; or (d) create derivative works that misrepresent Microchip data.

MPLAB-DOCS  Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

The MPLAB-DOCS MCP Server provides semantic access to our technical documentation corpus. Content is returned through vector search, so the model retrieves the most relevant passages for the question at hand and grounds its responses and its generated code in our technical material.

How to Use the MPLAB-DOCS MCP Server

The MPLAB-DOCS MCP Server is a remote MCP server compatible with MCP client applications that can connect to the endpoint.

Access the MPLAB-DOCS MCP Server  

Note: This endpoint is designed for programmatic access by MCP clients. It is governed by the MCP Server Terms of Use below.

Core Capabilities

  • Vectorized, semantically searchable technical content
  • Working code examples to ground AI-generated code
  • Access to videos, training, reference designs and related learning material
  • Supports chatbots, assistants, ChatGPT, Claude® and any MCP-enabled clients

Content Coverage

The MPLAB-DOCS Server provides retrieval across our technical content, including:

Integration and Usage

  • No authentication is required to access the MPLAB-DOCS MCP Server
  • Users can connect via their preferred MCP-enabled clients such as agentic IDEs, chatbots, assistants or MCP inspectors
  • Supports natural language queries such as:
    • "How do I configure the ADC on a dsPIC33 DSC?"
    • "Show me an example of using DMA with SPI on a PIC32 MCU"
  • Returns the most relevant passages and references for the query

Key Benefits

  • Grounds AI coding assistants in verified Microchip documentation
  • Reduces hallucinated or out-of-date code suggestions
  • Surfaces relevant examples, videos and reference designs in context
  • Accelerates development and debugging directly inside the AI workflow
