KiCad MCP servers

[devbisme]

With the recent efforts to make VSCode extensions or AI-based tools that work with SKiDL, I thought I'd re-post a list of KiCad-related MCPs I compiled back in mid-January (ancient history, I know!). Maybe some of these will be useful to you.

• kicad-mcp-server – Described as “a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for KiCad 9.x, enabling AI‑assisted PCB design through Claude Code or other MCP clients,” with tools for DRC/ERC, auto‑routing, 3D rendering, and manufacturing export.

• kicad-sch-api – KiCad schematic manipulation library that documents an included MCP server for AI agents; its metadata and docs describe it as a foundation for MCP servers and name the mcp-kicad-sch-api MCP server submodule for Claude Code and similar tools.

• iflow-mcp_kicad-mcp – A PyPI package that packages a “KiCad MCP Server” setup; its description guides users through configuring a Model Context Protocol server for KiCad, intended to be used with LLM‑based MCP clients such as Claude Desktop.

• mixelpixx/KiCAD-MCP-Server – TypeScript MCP server plus Python KiCad interface providing full PCB project, schematic, routing, DRC, export, and analysis tools for KiCad 9, designed for use with Claude/Cline and other MCP clients.

• lamaalrajih/kicad-mcp – Python‑based Model Context Protocol server for KiCad that exposes tools for project discovery, PCB and schematic analysis, BOM generation, DRC via KiCad CLI, visualization, and circuit‑pattern analysis to any MCP‑compliant client.

• kicad-tools – This project provides standalone Python tools that enable AI agents (LLMs, autonomous coding assistants, etc.) to parse, analyze, and manipulate KiCad schematic and PCB files programmatically. All tools output machine-readable JSON and require no running KiCad instance.
