MacroFab API
MacroFab ships a public, versioned manufacturing API: quotes, PCBs, orders, inventory and part numbers are reachable with a key you generate yourself in account Settings. Friction is real: a query parameter key, unpublished SDKs, polling instead of events, and aging docs.
Frequently asked questions
MacroFab scores C+ on Supergood's API Report Card. MacroFab ships a public, versioned manufacturing API: quotes, PCBs, orders, inventory and part numbers are reachable with a key you generate yourself in account Settings. Friction is real: a query parameter key, unpublished SDKs, polling instead of events, and aging docs.
MacroFab has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
MacroFab is a cloud platform for turnkey printed circuit board assembly and electronics manufacturing.
Manufacturing, specifically on demand printed circuit board assembly for hardware companies. An engineering team uploads board design files and a bill of materials, gets a price and lead time across service tiers such as budget, standard, fast and extreme, then places an order for a given PCB version and quantity.
MacroFab is an established North American turnkey PCB assembly platform with a self-serve ordering flow and account managed support, but no customer counts, revenue figures or market share numbers were disclosed in the sources reviewed, so its reach is best described qualitatively.
The trapped operating data is the hardware supply chain record: PCB designs and their versions, bill of materials lines, customer part numbers and approved vendor lists with precedence, quotes with prices, costs, lead times and validity reasons, orders with quantity and delivery date, deals that group orders into release schedules, inventory positions, build status and revision history, quality data and fulfillment records.
The product is a modern cloud application rather than installed software, and the API is REST over HTTPS returning JSON on a hosted documentation site with endpoint level reference pages and recipe style guides.
Common alternatives include JLCPCB, CircuitHub, Screaming Circuits, Protolabs. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official MacroFab MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. MacroFab doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
