I built kicad-mcp-pro: an open-source MCP server for AI-assisted KiCad workflows

I’ve been working on kicad-mcp-pro, an open-source MCP server that connects KiCad PCB and schematic workflows to AI agents. GitHub: What is kicad-mcp-pro? kicad-mcp-pro is an MIT-licensed open-source project for bringing AI-assisted workflows into KiCad. The goal is not to replace engineers or hardware designers. The goal is to make repetitive PCB and schematic tasks easier, safer, and automated through the Model Context Protocol. Why I built it AI coding agents are getting better at working with files, tools, and development workflows. But hardware design is different.
