mcp-vcd

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analyzing VCD waveforms and GTKWave save files (.gtkw).

Give your AI assistant direct access to hardware simulation results — signal values, bus definitions, display formats, and signal groupings — without dumping entire files into the context window.

Tools

Tool

Description

get-signal

Get all value changes of a signal from a VCD file. Supports optional start_time / end_time range filtering.

load-gtkw

Parse a .gtkw save file and return its full structure: metadata, signals, buses, and groups.

get-signal-groups

Return the group hierarchy defined in a .gtkw file.

get-bus-signals

Return the component signals of a named bus from a .gtkw file.

get-signal-with-format

Get signal values from a VCD, formatted according to .gtkw display hints (hex, decimal, binary, etc.).
