No arguments

Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
capabilitiesA

Report what this server can do, what it deliberately does not do, and which external tools were found.

analyze_projectA

Full review of a KiCad project: components, nets, analog/digital analysis, PCB routing and DFM. Pass a .kicad_sch and optionally a .kicad_pcb.

list_componentsB

List components in a schematic, with optional reference-prefix or value filters.

list_netsB

Derive the netlist geometrically from the schematic files. Works with no KiCad installed.

trace_connectionsC

Trace every connection from a component, or from one specific pin.

verify_netlistA

Cross-check our geometric net tracing against KiCad's own netlist exporter. Requires KiCad installed. This is the authoritative correctness check.

pcb_statisticsC

Board statistics: layers, dimensions, footprints, tracks, vias, zones.

pcb_connectivityB

Copper connectivity: which nets are fully routed, unrouted, or split into islands.

list_footprintsA

List PCB footprints, optionally filtered to one side.

create_kicad_projectB

Create a new KiCad project (.kicad_pro/.kicad_sch/.kicad_pcb), optionally with a board outline.

add_componentB

Add a component to a schematic. Uses the installed KiCad symbol libraries when available, otherwise a built-in symbol set. Writes atomically.

add_generic_icA

Add a generic rectangular IC symbol by pin list. Use when the part is not in any installed library. pins_json: [[number, name, electrical_type], ...]

add_wireA

Draw a wire between two points (mm, snapped to the 1.27 mm grid).

add_labelB

Place a net label. kind is local, global or hierarchical. Local labels join nets within one sheet; global labels join across the design.

component_pin_positionsB

Report the pin coordinates of a placed component, so wires can be drawn to exactly the right points.

export_spice_netlistB

Export a SPICE netlist from the schematic. Active devices are listed as skipped rather than guessed.

simulate_subcircuitsC

Generate SPICE testbenches for every subcircuit the detectors found, run them if a simulator is present, and compare simulated against analytical values.

run_spiceC

Run an arbitrary SPICE deck and return the parsed measurements.
