KiCAD-MCP-Server
KiCAD MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude to directly interact with KiCAD for printed circuit board design.
This server provides a standardized bridge between AI assistants and KiCAD, enabling natural language control of PCB design operations. It includes comprehensive tool schemas, real-time project state access, and supports a wide range of PCB design workflows.
