šŸŽÆ What This Does

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides Microchip Field Application Engineers with:

  • Socket Intelligence Database: Comprehensive competitive analysis across 40+ product categories
  • Block Diagram Generator: Automatic draw.io XML generation from natural language
  • Business Intelligence: Market analysis, competitive positioning, and opportunity discovery
  • Research Automation: Generate new intelligence with customizable prompts

šŸ“‹ Prerequisites

  • Windows 11 with WSL2 Ubuntu
  • Claude Desktop (with MCP support)
  • Node.js 18+ (installer included in setup)
  • 8GB RAM minimum
  • 10GB free disk space

šŸ› ļø Detailed Setup

Step 1: WSL2 Configuration

# In Windows PowerShell (Admin)
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
wsl --set-default-version 2

# Configure WSL for optimal performance

Step 2: Clone Repository

# In WSL Ubuntu terminal
cd ~
git clone git@github.com:jonzo97/microchip-socket-intelligence-mcp.git
cd microchip-socket-intelligence-mcp

Step 3: Run Automated Setup

# This script installs everything needed
./scripts/setup.sh

Step 4: Configure Claude Desktop

The setup script automatically configures Claude Desktop. For manual configuration:

šŸ’” Using the Intelligence System

Generate New Intelligence

# Run a specific research prompt
node scripts/generate-intelligence.js --category "automotive"

# Update the entire database
node scripts/update-database.js --full

Available Commands in Claude Desktop

Once configured, you can use these commands in Claude:

  • @socket-research [category] - Research competitive landscape
  • @block-diagram [description] - Generate draw.io diagrams
  • @market-analysis [segment] - Analyze market opportunities
  • @competitive-intel [competitor] - Deep competitive analysis

šŸ› Troubleshooting

Common Issues

WSL2 not starting: Ensure virtualization is enabled in BIOS

Node.js version error: Run nvm use 18 in WSL

Claude Desktop not connecting: Check ~/.claude/config.json

Permission denied: Run chmod +x scripts/*.sh
