Enables Large Language Models to interact with KiCAD for natural language-driven printed circuit board design.

About

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

  • Generate exports in various formats like Gerber, PDF, and 3D models
  • Create and manage KiCAD projects through natural language
  • Implement design rules and perform design rule checks via AI assistance
  • Manipulate board geometry, place components, and route traces
  • Generate schematics with components and connections using AI
  • 26 GitHub stars

Use Cases

  • AI-assisted PCB design using natural language commands
  • Streamlined project management and component placement
  • Automated schematic and PCB layout creation
