About Schematik
Schematik's hosted MCP server lets electronics builders search a parts catalog and published, step-by-step hardware guides. Its read-only tools return part details such as current lowest price and available pinouts, plus guide parts, wiring, steps and firmware.
Key features
- 01Search boards, sensors, displays and modules
- 02Retrieve part descriptions, prices and available pinouts
- 03Search guides optionally by board
- 04Get guides with parts, wiring, steps and firmware
Use cases
- 01Find an ESP32-compatible sensor and check its price
- 02Look up a development board pinout
- 03Find Raspberry Pi Pico build guides
- 04Follow wiring and firmware instructions for a hardware project
MCP support
The hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server exposes tools to search and retrieve electronics parts and build guides. It is read-only and requires no API key or sign-in.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
