WEdirekt API
WEdirekt markets a REST API for PCB technical data and prices, but there is no developer portal, no public reference and no sandbox. Access begins with an email to the vendor, so any integration depends on a manual approval conversation.
Frequently asked questions
WEdirekt scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. WEdirekt markets a REST API for PCB technical data and prices, but there is no developer portal, no public reference and no sandbox. Access begins with an email to the vendor, so any integration depends on a manual approval conversation.
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.
WEdirekt is the online printed circuit board shop operated by Wuerth Elektronik, selling prototype, sample and small series PCBs along with SMD stencils through a web configurator that returns instant pricing.
Manufacturing, specifically procurement of fabricated printed circuit boards. A hardware engineer uploads layout data to the WEdirekt configurator, lets the Data Reader pull board parameters out of that data, selects pool or non pool production, sees a price immediately and places the order online.
WEdirekt states that its service is now used by almost 9,000 customers, while a Wuerth Elektronik webinar deck cites a 2008 founding, roughly 1,800 active customers and about 70 orders per day, which places it as an established European PCB shop rather than a global default that every toolchain integrates with.
The data a customer would want programmatically is the quoting and ordering record: board specifications derived from uploaded Gerber, Excellon, Eagle, Altium and ODB++ layout data, configurator parameters, pool versus non pool selection, calculated prices and offers, order and delivery status, and the account order history.
A Wuerth Elektronik webinar deck dates the WEdirekt service to a 2008 founding, so the shop has roughly seventeen years of operating history behind it.
Common alternatives include Eurocircuits, JLCPCB, PCBWay, MacroFab. 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 WEdirekt 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. WEdirekt 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.
