Kicad Mcp Server

Overview

Kicad Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that brings AI-assisted PCB design capabilities to your workflow with KiCad 9.x. It exposes KiCad's design tools as functions that AI assistants can invoke directly, letting you leverage AI to streamline your circuit board layouts and schematics.

The server runs locally on your machine via the Python package kicad-mcp-server, installed through uvx. It communicates over stdio and requires no authentication or external credentials — it works immediately after setup. The latest release is v3.5.0, published under the MIT license with source code available at bunnyf/pcb-mcp on GitHub.

Kicad Mcp Server appears in the Design category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server, you can claim this listing to verify ownership, receive a Verified badge, and ensure the information stays accurate.
