  • get_timing_summary

    Get timing summary (WNS, TNS, WHS, THS). Returns parsed metrics only by default. Use generate_full_report for raw output.

  • get_utilization

    Get resource utilization (LUT, FF, BRAM, DSP, IO). Returns parsed metrics only by default. Use generate_full_report for hierarchical details.

    Request a new feature or capability for the Vivado MCP server. Use this when you encounter a limitation or wish you had a tool that doesn't exist.

  • restart_simulation

    Restart the simulation from time 0

  • run_implementationwrite action

    Run implementation (place and route) on the current project

  • run_simulationwrite action

    Run the simulation for a specified time

    Start a persistent Vivado TCL session. Must be called before other commands.

  • step_simulation

    Step the simulation by a delta cycle or time step

  • stop_session

    Stop the Vivado TCL session and free resources

Vivado MCP Native

让 Claude、Cursor、Cline、Cherry Studio 等兼容 MCP 的 AI 客户端 在 Windows 和 Linux 上直接启动、控制并分析 AMD/Xilinx Vivado。

让 AI 处理 Vivado 的重复操作、报告读取和 Tcl 调用，你可以把精力放在 FPGA 架构、约束和问题判断上。

Vivado MCP Native 是一个面向 AMD/Xilinx Vivado 的本地 Model Context Protocol（MCP）服务器。它通过持久化 Vivado Tcl 会话，让 AI 客户端能够打开工程、运行综合与实现、生成比特流、读取时序和资源报告、控制仿真，并执行高级 Tcl 命令。

项目使用 Python subprocess 原生管理 Vivado 进程，可直接运行于 Windows 和 Linux，不依赖仅适用于类 Unix 环境的 pexpect。MCP 与 Vivado 都运行在用户本机，工程文件不会因为使用本项目而自动上传到云端。

[!IMPORTANT]

本项目不包含 Vivado。可用器件、IP、综合/实现功能和许可证能力，取决于本机安装的 AMD/Xilinx Vivado。

[!WARNING]

PyPI 上的 vivado-mcp 属于另一个项目。本项目的安装包名称是 vivado-mcp-native。

它可以做什么

可以直接对 AI 这样说

启动 Vivado，并检查当前会话是否健康。

打开 D:\FPGA\my_project\my_project.xpr，告诉我目标器件、顶层模块和当前运行状态。

运行综合，使用 8 个并行任务。完成后汇总 ERROR、CRITICAL WARNING 和资源利用率。

分析当前设计的时序，告诉我 WNS/TNS 是否满足，并列出最差的 10 条 setup 路径。

只分析 clk_250m 时钟域中经过 u_tdc 的失败路径，并给出可能的优化方向。

运行实现并生成 bitstream；每一步都确认 Vivado 的真实 STATUS 和 PROGRESS。

启动行为级仿真，运行 1 us，然后读取 /tb/dut/data_out 和 /tb/dut/valid。

执行 Tcl：report_drc -ruledecks default，并总结需要优先处理的问题。

为什么使用这个项目

环境要求

安装

方式一：使用 pip 安装

Windows PowerShell：

py -m pip install --upgrade vivado-mcp-native

Linux：

python3 -m pip install --upgrade vivado-mcp-native

检查安装结果：

py -m pip show vivado-mcp-native
vivado-mcp-native-doctor --help

方式二：使用 pipx 安装（推荐）

pipx 会为 MCP Server 创建独立 Python 环境，减少与其他 Python 包的依赖冲突。

Windows：

py -m pip install --user --upgrade pipx
py -m pipx ensurepath
py -m pipx install vivado-mcp-native

Linux：

python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
python3 -m pipx install vivado-mcp-native

升级：

py -m pipx upgrade vivado-mcp-native

方式三：直接从 GitHub 安装
