187 curated semiconductor manufacturing training documents — full-text OSHA standards, SEMI guides, and Micron Technology textbooks — backed by 3,393 peer-reviewed semiconductor research papers from 50 top universities. Over 3,500 semiconductor resources in a single library, free for any AI agent. Seven curriculum sections. Accessible to any AI agent in 60 seconds. No engineering degree required.
BOISE, Idaho — Joseph Provence knows what it feels like to walk into a semiconductor facility for the first time. He worked at TSMC Washington in Camas — one of the most advanced chip manufacturing facilities in the United States — and experienced firsthand the steep learning curve that greets anyone entering the industry.
That experience is the foundation of his newest project.
Provence recently launched the PUBLICMCP Semiconductor Training Library, a free, AI-native collection of 187 curated semiconductor manufacturing resources available to any AI agent with no API key, no login, and no cost. The library is live now at library.publicmcp.org/mcp and accessible through Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible AI agent in under 60 seconds.
What makes the library different is how it was built — and who it was built for.
Provence had no programming background when he started the project. He learned Python by working alongside Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding assistant, treating it the way experienced workers treat a good mentor: ask questions, try things, learn from what breaks. That process of AI-assisted learning became the model for the library itself.
"If Claude could teach me a programming language from scratch, it can teach someone the fundamentals of semiconductor manufacturing," Provence said. "That's the whole point."
The library organizes 187 resources into seven curriculum sections — Manufacturing Fundamentals, Memory Technology, Safety and Compliance, Quality and Process Control, Industry 4.0 and Automation, Career Pathways, and Advanced Topics — covering everything from cleanroom environments and photolithography to OSHA lockout/tagout standards and DRAM architecture.
Here is what a new engineer sees when they connect Claude to the library:

With Micron's $15 billion Boise expansion underway and TSMC building fabs across the United States, the industry faces a documented shortage of trained workers at every level. Provence built this library for the people entering that pipeline — not after they have a degree, but on day one.
The PUBLICMCP Semiconductor Training Library is free and open at library.publicmcp.org/mcp.
The PUBLICMCP open standard is documented at https://publicmcp.org.
