What is KiCAD MCP?

KiCAD MCP is a bridge between AI assistants like Claude and KiCAD PCB design software. It translates your natural language instructions into precise PCB design actions, making complex circuit board design accessible through simple conversations.

How to use KiCAD MCP?

Simply install the software, configure the VSCode Claude extension, and start giving design instructions in plain English. The AI will handle the technical implementation in KiCAD while you focus on the creative design aspects.

Ideal Use Cases

Perfect for rapid prototyping, educational purposes, and designers who want to focus on high-level design rather than software mechanics. Also valuable for teams wanting to document design decisions through natural language.

Key Features

Project Management
Create, open, and manage KiCAD projects through simple commands without navigating menus.
Smart Board Design
Define board outlines, layers, and properties using natural language descriptions.
Intelligent Component Placement
Arrange components in grids, circles, or custom patterns with precise positioning.
Automated Routing
Create traces, differential pairs, and copper pours through simple instructions.
Design Rule Management
Set and verify design rules through conversational commands.
Multi-format Export
Generate fabrication files (Gerber), documentation (PDF), and 3D models with simple requests.
Benefits
Lowers the learning curve for KiCAD beginners
Speeds up repetitive design tasks
Enables design through intention rather than software mechanics
Creates natural language documentation of design decisions
Reduces manual menu navigation and clicking
Limitations
Currently optimized for Windows (Linux/Mac support coming)
Requires KiCAD 9.0+ installation
Complex designs may still require manual refinement
Limited to capabilities of the connected AI assistant

Getting Started

Install Prerequisites
Install KiCAD 9.0+, Node.js v18+, Python 3.8+, and the VSCode Claude extension.
Set Up KiCAD MCP
Clone the repository and install dependencies.
Configure Cline Extension
Update the Cline MCP settings file with the correct paths to the KiCAD MCP server.
Start Designing
Open VSCode with the Claude extension and begin giving design instructions.

Example Use Cases

Rapid Prototyping
Quickly create a basic PCB layout for concept validation
Educational Demonstration
Show students PCB design concepts through natural language
Design Documentation
Create self-documenting design processes
