"KiCad" matching MCP tools:
- Report kicad-mcp backend availability, capabilities, and KiCad version. Use this to discover available actions: headless analysis, schematic reads, and live board editing.MIT
- Retrieves live board status from KiCad, including item counts, layers, and version. Requires running KiCad GUI with API enabled.MIT
- Check the KiCad environment status to verify installation, versions, live connection, and available capabilities. Use this first to diagnose unexpected behavior.MIT
- Retrieve references, nets, item types, and summaries from the current KiCad PCB selection to analyze component details and connectivity.MIT
- Convert Eagle board and schematic files into a KiCad project, translating PCB layout and schematic to KiCad formats.MITDestructive
Matching MCP Servers
- AlicenseAqualityBmaintenanceMCP server for KiCad 10 that provides live PCB access, file-based schematic handling, symbol search, schematic generation from pinouts, and a Python scripting escape hatch.23MIT
- AlicenseBqualityBmaintenanceMCP server that analyzes, reviews, and exports KiCad 9 designs, with live board editing via IPC and a built-in design-review engine.47MIT
Matching MCP Connectors
- boardrepoOAuth
Search and review real KiCad and Altium PCB designs: schematics, BOMs, netlists, DRC/ERC.
Verified KiCad footprints, symbols & 3D models for AI agents. No signup, CC-BY-4.0, quality-gated.
- Diagnose KiCad server connectivity by checking IPC reachability, version, socket attempts, and open PCB documents.MIT
- Highlight all copper items on a specified net in KiCad PCB editor to visually trace connections.MIT
- Opens KiCad PCB or schematic files by resolving the source path, and fails closed if the document cannot be opened.MIT
- Plot KiCad schematics to PDF, SVG, DXF, PS, or HPGL files using kicad-cli.MIT
- Convert KiCAD schematic files to PDF documents with kicad-cli, supporting black-and-white export for print-ready output.MITDestructive
- Open a KiCad project to access and work with electronic design files for PCB development and analysis.MIT
- Check connection to KiCad and retrieve version information.MIT
- Retrieve recently opened KiCad projects from config files, enabling quick access to active PCB designs.MIT
- Retrieve the currently configured KiCad project paths to verify which directories are active for PCB and schematic design.MIT
- Check KiCad version and connection status to verify the environment is ready for design automation.MIT
- Checks version compatibility between the connected KiCad instance and the kipy library to prevent mismatches.MIT
- Scans a directory, reporting all KiCad project files found within it.MIT
- Import PADS PCB files into a KiCad project directory for further editing and design within KiCad.MIT
- Check the health status of the MCP server, KiCad, kicad-cli, and active project to verify operational readiness.-
- Create a new minimal KiCad project structure and activate it for immediate use.MIT
