Overview

Mcp Kicad is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes KiCad PCB Editor functionality through an IPC API. It integrates directly with AI assistants, making KiCad tools available as callable functions within your workflow.

The server runs locally on your machine using the mcp-kicad Python package, installed via uvx mcp-kicad. It communicates over stdio and requires no authentication to get started. Version v0.1.1 is available under the MIT license, with source code at daedalus/mcp-kicad on GitHub.

Mcp Kicad belongs in the Development category and works with 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 and keep the information up to date.
