NextPCB API
NextPCB runs PCB and PCBA quoting and ordering through a web account and a KiCad plugin, with no public API and no developer portal. The developer and docs subdomains do not resolve, and api.nextpcb.com returns API_NOT_FOUND. Machine access, if any, runs through sales.
Frequently asked questions
NextPCB scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. NextPCB runs PCB and PCBA quoting and ordering through a web account and a KiCad plugin, with no public API and no developer portal. The developer and docs subdomains do not resolve, and api.nextpcb.com returns API_NOT_FOUND. Machine access, if any, runs through sales.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
NextPCB is an electronics manufacturing provider that sells PCB prototyping, multilayer, HDI and rigid flex fabrication plus PCBA assembly through an online ordering platform.
Manufacturing, specifically electronics hardware teams that buy PCB fabrication and assembly. A hardware team uploads Gerber, NC drill and BOM files, sets stackup, finish and quantity parameters, and takes an instant online quote, then places the order and watches fabrication, assembly and shipping status from the web account.
NextPCB markets itself as a global PCB and PCBA supplier and its own 2026 catalog claims five major factories and a community engaging over 6 million electronics users, but no third party verified customer counts or named enterprise logos were found, which places it as a visible mid tier alternative to the larger Chinese fabrication portals rather than a dominant system of record.
The account holds the design and manufacturing record for every board a customer buys: Gerber and drill files, BOM and assembly data, stackup and finish parameters, quote history and pricing, purchase orders, CAM and DFM review findings, production and assembly status, parts sourcing records, invoices and shipment tracking.
The ordering surface is a current generation web application with instant quoting, online file review and an Industry 4.0 digitization pitch, backed by a hosted support portal and help center.
Common alternatives include JLCPCB, PCBWay, MacroFab, Eurocircuits, Sierra Circuits. 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 NextPCB 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. NextPCB 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.
