Silicon Almanac MCP server

Which servers in the official MCP registry are Silicon Almanac's own, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.siliconalmanac/recordverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under siliconalmanac.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-19 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 556 ms.

  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 6 of 9 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · Cite a semiconductor figure with its publisher and issue date
  • not sure · Check which fab sites are being built, operating or paused
  • not sure · Compare a published figure against the value it replaced

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • record_overview

    Start here. What this record holds, what it refuses to do, and the latest changes. Read it before assuming what is available.

  • find_fabs

    Search the fab sites in the record by country, operator, kind, status, wafer size or process node. Every row names the publisher it came from; rows with no publisher are not returned.

  • fab_profile

    One fab site in full, including the note that says what this record does not know about it, and every capacity statement whose sentence covers it.

  • list_figures

    Every published forecast subject in the record and each year it has been forecast for, with how many vintages exist. Use it to find a subject_id for figure_history.

  • figure_history

    The revision history of one published figure: every vintage, what the publisher said in their own words, the date they issued it, and the link. Includes the restatements as pairs of published values. Call this when a number is quoted and…

  • recent_changes

    Figures that publishers restated recently, each an old value and a new value with both links. Says what changed and never what it means.

  • record_gaps

    What this record is missing and why each one is open. Call it before concluding a figure exists. Statuses distinguish "nobody publishes this" from "the source costs money" from "we have the URLs and have not done the work".

  • list_sources

    Every publisher this record collects, across BOTH mechanisms: their feed, or their own sitemap. A publisher absent from one may be present in the other.

  • node_bands

    How named publishers have defined process-node bands such as "advanced", each as a dated statement with its wafer basis. This record defines no bands of its own.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "record": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://desk.siliconalmanac.com/mcp_rpc.php"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http siliconalmanac https://desk.siliconalmanac.com/mcp_rpc.php

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://desk.siliconalmanac.com/mcp_rpc.php as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
