KiCad MCP

This guide will help you set up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for KiCad. While the examples in this guide often reference Claude Desktop, the server is compatible with **any MCP-compliant client**. You can use it with Claude Desktop, your own custom MCP clients, or any other application that implements the Model Context Protocol.
