Run in your terminal after replacing any placeholders.

04 / Check it in your client

Open your client’s MCP settings and confirm the server connects and lists its tools. A copied configuration does not confirm a working connection.

FAQ

Questions about MCP Server Kicad MCP Server

How do I connect MCP Server Kicad MCP Server to Claude?
Run `claude mcp add mcp-server-kicad -- uvx --from mcp-server-kicad mcp-server-kicad` in Claude Code, or add the same command and arguments under mcpServers in Cursor's mcp.json or Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the client. The blocks above are ready to paste.
Is MCP Server Kicad MCP Server free?
The listed licence is GPL-3.0. Check the upstream terms for permitted use and commercial requirements; a public repository does not by itself mean the software is free or open source. Connected APIs and hosted services may have separate charges.
What can MCP Server Kicad MCP Server do?
MCP Server Kicad MCP Server documents 40 tools to the agent, including add_global_label, add_hierarchical_label, add_junctions. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.
