      Enables MCP clients such as Claude Code to work on KiCad 10 designs by driving kicad-cli for ERC, DRC, netlists and fabrication exports, KiCad's IPC API for live board editing, and lossless edits of schematic and project files. It also provides design review, routing, parts and datasheet tooling so a board can be treated as data and checked against fab limits.

    B3.2/5.0

    Scored across 10 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a unique purpose: schematic tools are prefixed with `sch_`, PCB tools with `pcb_`, and export targets (Gerbers, drill, STEP, IPC2581, GLB) are clearly distinct. No two tools could be confused.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Tool names follow a consistent `sch_`/`pcb_` prefix plus verb and optional object pattern, using lowercase with underscores. The `version` tool is the only one without a prefix, but it is a standalone command and does not break the overall consistency.

    Tool Count5/5

    10 tools is well-scoped for a KiCad CLI server, covering the essential schematic and PCB checks and exports without unnecessary bloat. Each tool serves a distinct and useful function.

    Completeness4/5

    The set covers core KiCad workflows: ERC/DRC checks, BOM/netlist exports, and common manufacturing outputs (Gerbers, drill, STEP, IPC2581, GLB). Minor gaps like schematic PDF or SVG export are possible additions, but the existing surface is comprehensive for typical use.
