# KiCAD MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with KiCAD for PCB design automation. Built on the MCP 2025-06-18 specification, this server provides comprehensive tool schemas and real-time project state access for intelligent PCB design workflows.

## Overview

The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is an open standard from Anthropic that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external tools and data sources. This implementation provides a standardized bridge between AI assistants and KiCAD, enabling natural language control of PCB design operations.

**Key Capabilities:**
- 64 fully-documented tools with JSON Schema validation
- Smart tool discovery with router pattern (reduces AI context by 70%)
- 8 dynamic resources exposing project state
- JLCPCB parts integration with 2.5M+ component catalog and local library search
- Full MCP 2025-06-18 protocol compliance
- Cross-platform su
