"KiCad" matching MCP tools:
- Retrieves live board status from KiCad, including item counts, layers, and version. Requires running KiCad GUI with API enabled.MIT
- Convert Eagle board and schematic files into a KiCad project, translating PCB layout and schematic to KiCad formats.MIT
- Diagnose KiCad server connectivity by checking IPC reachability, version, socket attempts, and open PCB documents.MIT
- Plot KiCad schematics to PDF, SVG, DXF, PS, or HPGL files using kicad-cli.MIT
- Check connection to KiCad and retrieve version information.MIT
Matching MCP Servers
- AlicenseAqualityBmaintenanceMCP server for KiCad 10 that provides live PCB access, file-based schematic handling, symbol search, schematic generation from pinouts, and a Python scripting escape hatch.23MIT
- AlicenseBqualityBmaintenanceMCP server that analyzes, reviews, and exports KiCad 9 designs, with live board editing via IPC and a built-in design-review engine.47MIT
- Retrieve recently opened KiCad projects from config files, enabling quick access to active PCB designs.MIT
- Retrieve the currently configured KiCad project paths to verify which directories are active for PCB and schematic design.MIT
- Check KiCad version and connection status to verify the environment is ready for design automation.MIT
- Checks version compatibility between the connected KiCad instance and the kipy library to prevent mismatches.MIT
- Scans a directory, reporting all KiCad project files found within it.MIT
- Import PADS PCB files into a KiCad project directory for further editing and design within KiCad.MIT
- Create a new minimal KiCad project structure and activate it for immediate use.MIT
- Set the active KiCad project by specifying the project directory and optional paths for PCB, schematic, and output files.MIT
- Export KiCad schematics to netlist files, selecting the format (default: kicad) to support PCB design and simulation.MIT
- Convert PADS ASCII layout files (.asc) to KiCad PCB format. Outputs a ZIP archive containing the .kicad_pcb file.Apache 2.0
- Convert KiCad PCB, schematic, or project files from version 10 to version 7, 8, or 9 for fab shop compatibility. Rounded rectangles and hatched fills are adjusted automatically.Apache 2.0
- Convert Cadence Allegro PCB board files (.brd) to KiCad format. Uses KiCad 10's importer to generate .kicad_pcb files and extracted libraries, no Cadence license required.Apache 2.0
- Convert Protel99SE schematic and PCB files to KiCad 7 format. Accepts .sch, .pcb, .lib files or a zip archive, and outputs KiCad files with a conversion report.Apache 2.0
