> ##  Meet Konnect — the next generation
>
> **[Konnect](https://github.com/mixelpixx/Konnect)** is this project rebuilt from
> scratch in Rust as a native KiCAD 10 plugin: a single binary with no runtime
> dependencies, built on KiCAD's official IPC API instead of SWIG, with 171 tools,
> bundled Claude skills and agents, design-review audits, and a manufacturing
> pipeline. It's where new development happens — licensed AGPL-3.0 (free for
> individuals and open source; commercial licenses available for businesses).
>
> This Python/TypeScript server remains fully open (MIT) and maintained.
