Enables Large Language Models to interact with KiCAD for natural language-driven printed circuit board design.
KiCAD MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation providing a communication bridge between AI assistants and the KiCAD PCB design software. It empowers users to manage KiCAD projects, design schematics and PCBs, place components, route traces, and generate exports through natural language requests. By translating plain English commands into KiCAD operations, it streamlines the PCB design workflow while maintaining engineer oversight and control.
Key Features
01Generate exports in various formats like Gerber, PDF, and 3D models
02Create and manage KiCAD projects through natural language
03Implement design rules and perform design rule checks via AI assistance
04Manipulate board geometry, place components, and route traces
05Generate schematics with components and connections using AI
