    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.

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 26 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct resource+action targets, and descriptions explicitly redirect between similar tools (get_index vs get_outline, get_element_text vs get_page_image, search_distributors vs project_availability). Some boundaries still require careful reading: list_items vs get_page_map vs get_index, and project_status vs project_check vs project_sync could be confused at a glance.

Naming Consistency4/5

The set is predominantly consistent snake_case with predictable verb_noun spacing and a coherent project_ prefix family. Minor deviations exist: noun-only names like part_links and distributor_status, and mixed verb families (get_/save_/find_/set_/add_/search_) that are still readable.

Tool Count2/5

At 26 tools the surface exceeds the 25-tool threshold, which is heavy even for a domain this broad (document ingestion, reading, facts, project lifecycle, distributors). Several lifecycle and distributor tools could plausibly be consolidated or moved to CLI per the descriptions themselves.

Completeness4/5

Coverage is strong: document ingestion (add_document), reading (text, image, index, outline, search, page map), fact capture/verification, project add/update/remove/sync/check, and distributor availability/ordering. Minor gaps remain: no tool to delete a document from the central store, no fact deletion, and no direct CAD file download (delegated to part_links and external tools).
