find_component_connections

Identify and extract all connections for a specific component in a KiCad project. Use project file path and component reference to generate a detailed map of schematic linkages.

Instructions

Find all connections for a specific component in a KiCad project.

This tool extracts information about how a specific component is connected to other components in the schematic.

Args: project_path: Path to the KiCad project file (.kicad_pro) component_ref: Component reference (e.g., "R1", "U3") ctx: MCP context for progress reporting

Returns: Dictionary with component connection information
