Silicon Architect

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by ZeroOne [amFOSS] at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

silicon architect is an MCP server that gives AI coding assistants a real, evidence-based semiconductor design toolchain — not simulated output. It runs actual RTL elaboration and formal bounded model checking via a WebAssembly build of Yosys, performs genuine sky130 standard-cell synthesis with measured cell area, and executes real FPGA place-and-route with nextpnr for ECP5 and iCE40, reporting achieved Fmax rather than estimates. Layered on top are IP discovery, revision history, netlist graph visualization, auto-generated design reports, and a transparent cost sheet, so an AI client can choose its next tool based on what the previous one actually produced. The result: fewer manual handoffs between specialist EDA tools, earlier detection of RTL defects before they become costly downstream, and an auditable, evidence-backed workflow that gives smaller teams and startups access to professional chip-design capability — all while keeping engineers in the loop reviewing real outputs, not AI-generated guesses.

Who built Silicon Architect?
Silicon Architect was built by team ZeroOne [amFOSS] at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon, in the Enterprise AI & Workplace Automation track.
What is an MCP app and how is it built?
An MCP app is an application built on the Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI agents connect to tools, data, and APIs. This project exposes MCP tools and resources that agentic AI systems can call. It was built and deployed on NitroStack, the full-stack platform for shipping MCP apps and servers.
