Next Everything MCP¶

A bill of materials is a spreadsheet full of promises until somebody checks stock, price breaks and lifecycle status line by line. Next Everything does that check inside the assistant and returns a priced build you can order.

Server type: Remote (Streamable HTTP) at https://mcp.nexteverything.io/mcp
Auth: bearer API key from the account dashboard (Authorization header)
Live check: POST initialize returned HTTP 401 Unauthorized without a key
Tools: 8 (create_project, check_bom, update_bom_line, find_parts, get_part, find_alternatives, place_order, order_status)
Catalog: 630,000+ in-stock parts from the JLCPCB/LCSC library, refreshed daily, with DigiKey and Mouser checked live per line
Vendor: Next Everything (nexteverything.io)

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Procurement for a hardware build is a join across three distributor catalogs, a price ladder that changes with quantity, and a lifecycle risk nobody reads until the part is unavailable. The three failures that cost money are all visible only when the numbers sit side by side. A part that is in stock at one distributor but on allocation at another. A price break one unit above the quantity you planned, where buying ten more boards costs less than buying what you need. A part marked not recommended for new designs that is about to strand the next run.

The usual fix is a buyer with browser tabs, or a spreadsheet that was accurate the day it was saved. Next Everything makes the comparison the tool call: every BOM line is matched to an orderable part, priced for the quantity you actually want, and checked for stock, lifecycle status and footprint availability before you commit.

What It Actually Does¶

The flow is a project, not a chat. create_project opens a build and returns a project_id and a dashboard URL that a person can watch while the agent works: current BOM, chosen part per line, price and stock, the problems found, the quotes and the orders.

check_bom takes the BOM as CSV or TSV text plus the board count and returns the matched lines, the per-distributor price comparison, the shipments with estimated shipping, and a quote_id. Problems come back flagged rather than silently repaired: out of stock, not enough stock, a part the manufacturer is phasing out, an uncertain match, an MPN and a distributor number on the same line pointing at different parts, no footprint, and the JLCPCB extended-part fee when assembly is requested. Problem lines carry alternatives, checked ones first, and unmatched lines say when the item is not an electronic component at all.

update_bom_line edits the project without resending the file, and re-prices the whole build, so accepting an alternative is one call and one new quote. find_parts searches in stock parts by part number, words, category, package, manufacturer or electrical spec, with values read as specs (resistor 33 ohm 1/4W axial searches through-hole 33 ohm parts of at least a quarter watt). get_part returns every offer with its full price ladder, datasheet, pinout and recent stock trend, and find_alternatives does the same for a swap. place_order requests an order against a quote and charges nothing: the team re-checks live stock and prices and emails a payment link, and order_status follows it.

Shipping economy is a real option rather than a note: minimize_shipments defaults to true, which moves lines to fewer distributors when the shipping saved exceeds the price difference, and false buys the cheapest source for every line.

Installation¶

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http nexteverything https://mcp.nexteverything.io/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer nx_live_your_key"

Create a free account at nexteverything.io/signup, copy the API key from the dashboard, and replace the placeholder. Setup guides exist for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI, Windsurf and VS Code.

Verification¶

Probed 2026-10-21 from the Spark host: an unauthenticated POST initialize to https://mcp.nexteverything.io/mcp returned HTTP 401, so the endpoint is live and gate-kept. Tool list and limits read from the vendor's own MCP documentation page on mcpservers.org: eight tools, request bodies over 2 MB rejected with 413, 401 for a missing or invalid key, 503 when the key cannot be checked. Quotes are in US dollars and valid 24 hours; import duties are not included and shipping is estimated per distributor.

FAQ¶

Does it order parts without asking?¶

No. place_order requests an order for a quote and charges nothing. The team re-checks live stock and price, then emails a payment link, which the caller can also see on the project dashboard.

Where do the prices come from?¶

The JLCPCB/LCSC catalog is the daily-refreshed base, 630,000+ in-stock parts. DigiKey and Mouser are checked live for every BOM line, so the comparison is against current distributor stock rather than a cached snapshot.

What counts as a problem line?¶

Out of stock, insufficient stock, a part the manufacturer is phasing out, an uncertain match, mismatched MPN and distributor numbers on one line, a missing footprint, and the extended-part assembly fee when JLCPCB assembles the board. Each comes back flagged with the alternatives that were checked.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
