Imports .[kicad](/mcp/servers/integrations/kicad)_pcb files as new PCB designs and exports designs in KiCad format, enabling AI-assisted PCB design, editing, routing, review, and file exchange with KiCad.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@PCBEditor MCP Server Design a 2-layer ESP32-C3 temp sensor board, then export Gerbers and BOM"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Design, route, check and export manufacturable printed circuit boards from the AI tool you already use. PCBEditor is a hosted (remote) MCP server: add one URL, sign in, and ask for a board in plain language. You get it back placed, routed and design-rule checked, with Gerber and KiCad files. Nothing to install.

Tool | What it does |
| Turns a plain-language description into a complete board: parts, schematic, placement, routing and a design-rule check. Runs as a job. |
| Status, progress and result of a job. |
| Answers a design job that paused on a question, such as which part to use. |
| Changes an existing design from a plain-language instruction. |
| Routes the board's unrouted connections. |
| Engineering review of a board: power, decoupling, thermal, signal integrity, manufacturability. |
| Design-rule check results with locations. |
| Gerber X2, drill, BOM, pick-and-place, KiCad, STEP, IPC-2581, ODB++ or PDF, as a time-limited download link. |
| Board summary: parts, nets and routing counts. |

EasyGerber brings AI printed circuit board (PCB) design, layout, and routing to MCP-compatible assistants. Describe a circuit or start from firmware pin assignments, search published electronic components, and build schematics using catalog parts with their footprints and available 3D models. Create and revise boards, generate layouts with automatic component placement and routing, inspect previews, and check saved layouts for blocking design issues. Export manufacturing ZIPs containing Gerber and drill files, a bill of materials, and component placement data, or download an editable EasyGerber (.egb) file. Start without signing up. Your agent creates a private guest session for one board, including catalog access, edits, layout, checks, previews, and exports. Sign in through OAuth to work with saved account boards, access permitted organization boards, or save the guest design to your account. Guest support depends on your MCP client and installed integration.
Design and revise PCBs from plain language, track jobs, and retrieve design artifacts.
