KiCad

소개

KiCad leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bring advanced AI assistance directly into your electronic design workflow. By embedding an MCP client and a built-in server, it transforms KiCad's editors into intelligent co-pilots. Users can interact with AI models, powered by OpenAI or similar endpoints, to enhance design tasks, automate processes, and explore new functionalities through a rich set of 72 available tools and an extensible IPC API, bridging the gap between sophisticated AI and practical EDA.
