This commit fixes two critical issues for MCP STDIO transport:
1. Logger fix (src/logger.ts) - CRITICAL MCP protocol compliance
- Change all log levels to use console.error() (stderr) exclusively
- Previous code sent info/debug logs to stdout via console.log()
- MCP protocol uses stdout for JSON-RPC messages
- Logging to stdout corrupts protocol communication
- Impact: Prevents intermittent MCP failures from log pollution
2. Windows compatibility fix (src/index.ts)
- Remove import.meta.url conditional check that fails on Windows
- Path separator differences (forward slash vs backslash) cause
the file:// URL comparison to fail
- Server now runs main() unconditionally as intended
- Impact: Reliable server startup on Windows
Changes:
- src/logger.ts: Use console.error() for all log levels
- src/index.ts: Remove 'if (import.meta.url === ...)' check
- src/index.ts: Add explanatory comment about Windows issue
Tested on Windows 11 with KiCAD 9.0.6.
Integration tests confirm 36KB logs to stderr, 0 bytes to stdout.
Fixes: MCP protocol corruption, Windows startup failures
- Added comprehensive documentation (BUILD_AND_TEST, CLIENT_CONFIG, KNOWN_ISSUES, ROADMAP, etc.)
- Updated core functionality for board outline, size, and utilities
- Added new tools for project, routing, schematic, and UI management
- Included TypeScript SDK with full MCP implementation
- Updated configuration examples for all platforms
- Added changelog and status tracking
- Improved Python utilities with KiCAD process management
- Enhanced resource helpers and server capabilities
