Adom Parts Search

One search box. Mouser, DigiKey and JLCPCB at once — with the fastest, cheapest pick chosen for you.

Sourcing a part used to mean three browser tabs, three logins, three different ways of saying "in stock," and a mental spreadsheet to figure out who actually gets it to your bench fastest. Adom Parts Search collapses that into one query: type a part — or just ask Claude — and it fires three parallel searches, normalizes the answers, and names the single best place to buy.

Install

adompkg install adom-parts-search

Quick start

# Browse — opens/refreshes the Parts Search Hydrogen tab + prints results
adom-parts-search show "STM32F103RBT6"

# Script — JSON only, no webview
adom-parts-search search "LM555" | jq '.recommendation'

# Keep the app tab alive without a query
adom-parts-search app

Screenshots

Three distributors, one comparable view

One keyword goes to Mouser, DigiKey and JLCPCB simultaneously; results land in three aligned columns with product photos, and a recommendation banner names the winner.

A recommendation that actually reasons

The winner isn't always Mouser. When Mouser is out of stock, long-lead, or NRND, the policy steps aside and points you at whoever can ship today.

Built for scripts and BOMs

search returns clean JSON for jq, BOM tooling, or another Claude step.

Dependencies

Client-only — it owns no API keys and runs no service of its own; it federates the three vendor backends and renders. At least one backend must be reachable; missing ones show a friendly error and the recommendation reasons around them.

Features

• One interface, three distributors — parallel queries, side-by-side product photos.
• Mouser-preferred routing — 40-min drone delivery from Mansfield, TX to our Fort Worth facility + ~$0 shipping is why Mouser wins when it's in stock.
• A recommendation that flips — DigiKey wins on Mouser out-of-stock / long-lead / NRND.
• Two faces — a Hydrogen webview for browsing, a JSON CLI for scripting and BOMs.
• Graceful degradation — a rate-limited or down backend never fails the whole search.

Talk to the AI

Sourcing / comparison:

• "source an STM32F103RBT6"
• "where can I get an ESP32-S3-WROOM cheapest and fastest"
• "compare Mouser, DigiKey and JLCPCB for an LM555"
• "check stock for a USB-C receptacle across distributors"

BOM:

• "price this BOM across distributors"
• "which of these parts is cheapest to assemble at JLCPCB"

Open source — make it yours, then give it back

This app is open source under the MIT license. Fork it, rewrite it, bend it to your workflow — and when you've made it better, send your changes back to the Adom Wiki so the whole community benefits. Every wiki page is a git repo with a package registry on top, so adompkg publish your own fork, or open a pull request against this page.

One caveat — the search backend is an Adom service. The actual lookups run against Adom's hosted Mouser, DigiKey and JLCPCB backends, which use Adom's vendor API credentials and count against Adom's quota. That hosted backend is an Adom service and is subject to change — rate limits, endpoints, and availability can move at any time. Everything client-side is yours to fork and republish; the cloud API quota is not.
