# Maglev Parts

> Parts catalog for hardware founders, built by Maglev (https://trymaglev.com/). Compute modules, motors and motor drivers, robot actuators and transmissions, and drone components from makers worldwide. Every part carries sources, dated prices, country of origin, NDAA / Blue UAS status and a landed-cost estimate. No key or login is needed for anything.

## Fastest path
- [Whole catalog as JSON](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/parts.json): 688 parts in one request
- [Index of categories and endpoints](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/index.json)
- [Search](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/search?q=jetson): `/parts/api/search?q=&lens=any|cn|not-cn|us|usmca|allied&ndaa=0|1`
- [Match your numbers](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/route?sub=joint-actuators&peak_torque_nm=60-&mass_g=-1000): `/parts/api/route?sub=&{key}={min}-{max}` ranks a subcategory against a requirement; keys at https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/find/index.json
- [MCP server](https://trymaglev.com/parts/mcp): streamable HTTP. Catalog tools, no key: search_parts, match_requirements, requirement_keys, get_part, list_categories, compare_parts, landed_cost, find_equivalents, get_test_protocol, check_test_result, build_rfq, plan_joint. Custom parts from CAD, with a Maglev API key: upload_cad_for_quote -> check_manufacturability -> get_quotes -> preview_order. Ordering through the API is paused: place_order is listed but always refuses.
- [Plan a joint](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/plan?peak_torque_nm=40&voltage_v=48): GET with peak_torque_nm, voltage_v, speed_rpm, max_mass_g, qty
- [Test result format](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/test/result.schema.json): JSON Schema; empty template at https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/test/result-template.json
- [Actuator test protocol](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/test/joint-actuator.json): nine bench tests for a robot joint (method, equipment, what to report) and three priced bench kits (page: https://trymaglev.com/parts/test/)
- [OpenAPI](https://trymaglev.com/parts/openapi.json)
- [Whole catalog as Markdown](https://trymaglev.com/parts/llms-full.txt)
- [Build a robot joint actuator](https://trymaglev.com/parts/api/builds/joint-actuator.json): every part one project needs, grouped by role (page: https://trymaglev.com/parts/builds/joint-actuator/)

## Rules for agents
- Prices are what a cited source showed on the date given. Quote them with that date.
- Landed cost: the total leaves out what total_excludes lists ("duty" when duty_status is "unknown"; "section_232" when a Section 232 duty may apply on a condition); say so. Check stale before quoting a duty figure.
- "unknown" means we could not confirm it. Do not guess a value.
- Origin: `origin.basis` is "made" when a source states the factory country, "hq" when only the maker's home country is known.
- Ordering: build a request with build_rfq and show it to your person. Maglev returns one price for the whole build, fixed before they commit.
