**KiCAD MCP Server** ist ein Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, der KI-Assistenten wie Claude ermöglicht, mit KiCAD für die PCB-Design-Automatisierung zu interagieren. Aufgebaut auf der MCP-Spezifikation 2025-06-18, bietet dieser Server umfassende Tool-Schemas und Echtzeit-Projektzugriff für intelligente PCB-Design-Workflows.
### PCBs mit natürlicher Sprache designen
Beschreibe was du bauen möchtest — und lass die KI die EDA-Arbeit übernehmen. Bauteile platzieren, eigene Symbole und Footprints erstellen, Verbindungen routen, Prüfungen ausführen und Fertigungsdateien exportieren — alles im Gespräch mit deinem KI-Assistenten.
### Was es heute kann
- Projektanlage, Schaltplan-Bearbeitung, Bauteil-Platzierung, Routing, DRC/ERC, Export
- **Eigene Symbole und Footprints generieren** — auch für Module die in KiCAD-Standardbibliotheken fehlen
- **Eigene Bibliotheksverwaltung** — einmal erstellt, in jedem Projekt wiederverwendbar
- **JLCPCB-Integration** — Bauteilkatalog mit Preisen und Lagerbestand
- **Freerouting-Integration** — automatisches PCB-Routing via Java/Docker
- **Visuelles Feedback** — Snapshots und Session-Logs für Nachvollziehbarkeit
- **Plattformübergreifend** — Windows, Linux, macOS
### Schnellstart
1. [KiCAD 9.0+](https://www.kicad.org/download/) installieren
2. [Node.js 18+](https://nodejs.org/) und [Python 3.11+](https://www.python.org/) installieren
3. Klonen und bauen:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mixelpixx/KiCAD-MCP-Server.git
cd KiCAD-MCP-Server
npm install
npm run build
```
4. KI-Client konfigurieren — siehe [Plattform-Anleitung](../docs/PLATFORM_GUIDE.md)
### GitHub Copilot (VS Code)
Template kopieren:
```bash
cp config/vscode-mcp.example.json .vscode/mcp.json
```
VS Code erkennt `.vscode/mcp.json` automatisch und registriert den Server. Das Template nutzt `${workspaceFolder}` — kein Pfad muss angepasst werden.
### Claude Desktop
Konfigurationsdatei bearbeiten:
- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- **macOS/Linux:** `~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Beispielkonfiguration: `config/windows-config.example.json` oder `config/macos-config.example.json`

# KiCAD MCP Server - Complete Tool Inventory
**Version:** 2.2.3
**Total Tools:** 124 (18 direct + 65 routed + 4 router + 37 additional)
**Last Updated:** 2026-04-20
**Version:** 2.1.0-alpha
**Total Tools:** 137 (verifiziert via VS Code MCP Discovery Log)
**Last Updated:** 2026-05-02
## How Tools Are Organized
The server uses a **router pattern** to reduce AI context usage. Tools fall into three groups:
Tools are registered directly via `server.tool()`
- **Direct tools** - Always visible to the AI. High-frequency operations used in most sessions.
- **Routed tools** - Organized into categories. Discovered via the router tools (`list_tool_categories`, `get_category_tools`, `search_tools`) and invoked via `execute_tool`.
- **Additional tools** - Registered directly (always visible) but not part of the router categories.
The `Access` column below uses legacy labels from when a router pattern was planned:
- **Direct** — High-frequency tools, originally intended as always-visible
- **Routed** — Originally planned for router dispatch; now also registered directly
- **Additional** — Registered directly (always visible)
