Overview

AI-generated overview

Turns electronic component datasheet PDFs into source-backed JSON contracts, pinout and spec extractions, and KiCad CAD files for AI assistants.

What you can do
  • Map and inspect datasheet PDFs: build a page-level Document Map, read its usage instructions, and drill into a single page's anatomy.
  • Extract electrical and mechanical facts: pinout, absolute maximum ratings, logic levels, timing, thermal limits, register maps, package dimensions, analog specs, power domains, peripheral matrix, passive BOM and pin cautions.
  • Decode ordering part numbers and list the available hardware extraction modules.
  • Generate KiCad footprints, symbols and combined bundles, and parse Altium ASCII footprint exports.
  • List, read and build Unified Component Model digital twins of datasheets stored in the account.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant must answer hardware design questions from component datasheets with page-level provenance, or produce KiCad footprints and symbols from a datasheet instead of hand-reading PDFs.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at datasheetvend.com; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. Some tools work on datasheets stored in a DatasheetVend account, so an account with extracted datasheets is likely needed for the twin tools.
Before you install
Extraction results are model-assisted and carry check statuses such as needs_review, disagrees or failed_sanity_check, so verify before design use. Generated footprints and symbols are not DRC/ERC checked, and land geometry is review-level rather than a manufacturer land pattern. Altium support reads ASCII text exports only, not binary libraries.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open DatasheetVend in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.datasheetvend%2Fdatasheet-contracts/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

datasheetvend_extract_document_map

Map a datasheet (deterministic index)

Build the Document Map of a datasheet PDF: a deterministic, machine-readable index of WHERE the topics live (pinout, package, mechanical, electrical, timing, thermal, absolute_max, registers, cautions …) and WHAT each page physically looks like (table / prose / vector_drawing / raster_image / blank / honest unknown), including a per-page geometry census (vector paths, ruling lines, raster coverage). No LLM is involved — the same document yields the same map, cached by SHA-256, so repeat calls are served from the cache. USE IT FIRST, before reading any page of a datasheet: read the candidate pages it recommends and pick your tool per page from anatomy.dominant_form. The result is wrapped as { contractVersion, documentRef, review, map }; inside `map` it names `map.document.total_pages` (the physical page count) and, per topic, `map.module_targets[].primary_pages` — so it answers 'how many pages' and points to the pages likely to hold the absolute-max ratings / pinout / package drawing (a primary page can miss, so read the candidates and check the warnings). Do NOT use it to get pin names, dimensions, or ratings — it contains no extracted values (use datasheetvend_extract_pinout for pins). Page numbers are physical 1-based PDF pages, not printed labels. Check review.required and the warnings before trusting a degraded map.

ParametersdocumentPathrequired

datasheetvend_read_document_map_instructions

Document Map usage instructions

Return the versioned usage instructions for Document Map consumers: the binding rule (SHA-256 + physical pages), field semantics, the dominant_form action table, and the measured routing discipline. Call once per session before working with maps from datasheetvend_extract_document_map; do not call repeatedly — the text is static per contract version.

Takes no parameters.

datasheetvend_inspect_document_page

Inspect one mapped page (Tier-2 detail)

Tier-2 detail for ONE page of an already-mapped datasheet: the full measured anatomy (text metrics, MuPDF geometry census, structural geometry signals), the page's own headings and first lines, and which modules claim the page. Use it AFTER datasheetvend_extract_document_map, when the Tier-1 index says a page matters and its one-line summary is not enough. Pass the document.sha256 from the map (served free from cache). Set include_physical=true ONLY when you truly need the raw positioned tokens/vector paths — that payload can weigh hundreds of KB for one dense page. Read-only; never rebuilds, never bills.

datasheetvend_extract_pinout

Extract datasheet pinout

Extract a component's pin/pad table from a datasheet PDF as verifiable, provenance-tracked evidence — not raw PDF text to re-interpret. Returns a PinoutEvidence document (contract pinout_evidence_v1): the canonical pins and special pads with names/types/functions. It also RESOLVES THE PACKAGE from the terminals — `package.family`, `package.variant` (e.g. SOT-223, TQFP-32) and `package.pin_count` — so use this tool to answer package-variant and pin-count questions, not extract_package_dimensions (mechanical geometry) or decode_part_number (ordering codes). A review-state flags when the result must be human-checked (e.g. no pins recovered, or the module raised warnings). Prefer this over reading the PDF yourself; trust `review.required` before acting. Runs DatasheetVend Fast Extraction: a page scout routes targeted reads of the pin tables, cross-checked against the package drawing where the document prints one, usually in seconds; `engine` names the engine on every result. If Fast Extraction cannot extract the pinout, the slower deep engine re-runs pinout alone (engine.runtime is then `monolith_rescue`; a rescue can take several minutes, so set a client timeout of 10 minutes). Only if that also fails does it come back as an error with the reason.

datasheetvend_extract_thermal_limits

Extract thermal resistance and operating limits

Extract thermal characteristics: junction-to-ambient (θJA) and junction-to-case (θJC) thermal resistance, power dissipation limits, and operating/junction/storage temperature ranges — with the datasheet page where one was recorded. Runs DatasheetVend Fast Extraction: a page scout routes targeted model reads and the module's own deterministic readers, then the same normalization and completion checks as a dashboard job finish the result, usually in seconds; `engine` names the engine on every result. If Fast Extraction cannot complete the module, the slower deep engine re-runs that module alone (engine.runtime is then `monolith_rescue`; the result says so, and it is billed as delivered).

Extract package dimensions and land geometry

Extract mechanical package outline dimensions (D, E, A, A1, e, L, b) and a nominal land geometry estimate in the spirit of IPC-7351B (review-level, not a manufacturer land pattern). For the package variant/pin count from the pin table, prefer extract_pinout.

datasheetvend_decode_part_number

Decode manufacturer ordering part numbers

Decode the ordering nomenclature: per-position suffix meanings (temp grade, package, speed, packaging) and, where the datasheet's ordering information supports it, the enumerated orderable_part_numbers list — the direct answer to 'which/how many orderable part numbers'. Codes the document's ordering legend lists that the decode lacks come back as deterministic_harvest_only_rules, each with its source page: text-layer evidence to check, not decoded rules.

datasheetvend_extract_kicad_footprint

Extract KiCad PCB footprint (.kicad_mod)

Write a KiCad PCB footprint (.kicad_mod) from a datasheet's package mechanical drawing: pad geometry, pitch, thermal tabs and courtyard, using the datasheet's own recommended land pattern when it prints one, otherwise simplified IPC-7351B fillet math. Emitted files are loaded with kicad-cli (sym/fp upgrade) where it is installed, which is a file-format check, not a DRC or ERC. Only bundle_status "completed" (with final_readiness.physical_truth_approved true) means the placement was independently proven against this document; "needs_review" covers everything else that still produced a file, including one built from the KiCad library or JEDEC/IPC-7351B math instead of this document (see footprint_provenance).

Extract KiCad schematic symbol (.kicad_sym)

Write a KiCad schematic symbol library (.kicad_sym) with logical pin groupings (Power, Ground, Reset, Clocks, GPIO, Analog, Bus interfaces) from a datasheet's pinout. Symbol layout is generated from the pin functions the pinout module resolved; there is no IEEE/IEC symbol-drawing standard applied.

Parse an Altium Designer ASCII footprint export

Parse an Altium Designer ASCII footprint export (a text file — NOT a binary .PcbLib/.SchLib) and extract the footprint name, per-pad copper geometry (designator, name, coordinates, size, shape), layer map, and this module's own review/audit verdict. This reads an EXISTING Altium file; it does not build one from a datasheet PDF (for that, see the Altium Assist output pack on a completed extraction job).

datasheetvend_list_hardware_modules

List the hardware intelligence modules

List all available hardware extraction modules supported by DatasheetVend (KiCad footprints/symbols, Universal Pinout, Thermal Limits, Absolute Maximum Ratings, Timing Characteristics, Logic Levels, Register Maps, Decoupling Passive BOM, Part Number Decoders, etc.).

Takes no parameters.

datasheetvend_list_component_twins

List your datasheets that have a component twin

List the datasheets in your DatasheetVend account that have a Unified Component Model (UCM) digital twin: the facts DatasheetVend already extracted from each datasheet — pins, supply rails, interfaces, registers and whole-part limits — combined across the extraction runs stored for it. Returns each datasheet's exact name, the modules its twin draws on, how many runs it has and when it was last run. Reads stored results only: never extracts, never bills. Needs a DatasheetVend API key. Pass a returned name to datasheetvend_get_component_twin. To twin a datasheet the account has not extracted, use datasheetvend_build_component_twin.

datasheetvend_get_component_twin

Read a datasheet's component twin

Read the Unified Component Model (UCM) digital twin of one datasheet already extracted with DatasheetVend. Every fact comes with a check ('passed', 'needs_review', 'disagrees', 'failed_sanity_check') and, where the extraction recorded one, its datasheet page, filed where it belongs: pins, whole_part (temperatures, absolute limits, package, ordering code), interfaces_rails (I2C/SPI/clock/ADC requirements and supply-rail values), registers (the register map) and checks. Call it first with no options for the summary, then ask for `sections`, one `pin` (by number, name or alternate function) or a `search` term so the answer stays small. Treat facts that did not pass as unverified and cite their page. Reads stored results only: never extracts, never bills. Needs a DatasheetVend API key; find datasheet names with datasheetvend_list_component_twins. To twin a datasheet the account has not extracted, use datasheetvend_build_component_twin.

datasheetvend_build_component_twin

Extract a datasheet into a component twin

Extract a datasheet with DatasheetVend Fast Extraction and return its Unified Component Model (UCM) digital twin in one call. Fast Extraction runs once for every requested module, and the modules' facts combine into one twin, filed where they belong: pins, whole_part (temperatures, absolute limits, package, ordering code), interfaces_rails, registers and checks — every fact with a check ('passed', 'needs_review', 'disagrees', 'failed_sanity_check') and, where recorded, its datasheet page. Returns the same ucm_twin_v1 view as datasheetvend_get_component_twin, with every section unless you ask for sections, one pin or a search, plus an `extraction` block: the engine, `rescued_features` (modules Fast Extraction could not complete at turbo speed that the standard deep engine extracted instead, slower for just those modules -- still billed and still in the twin), the modules NEITHER engine could extract (no credits charged for those), the credits charged and stored=false. Treat facts that did not pass as unverified and cite their page. The twin is NOT saved to your account: datasheetvend_get_component_twin and the dashboard will not find it, and calling again extracts and bills again. Needs a DatasheetVend API key. Costs the requested modules' credits: pinout (1 credit), absolute_max (2 credits), pin_cautions (2 credits), logic_levels (2 credits), thermal (2 credits), timing (2 credits), register_map (3 credits), peripheral_matrix (2 credits), power_battery (1 credit), part_decoder (2 credits), cad_normalized (1 credit, extracted as footprint); all of them 20 credits.
