KiCad MCP Pro is a Model Context Protocol server for KiCad EDA workflows. It exposes tools, resources, and prompts for schematic, PCB, validation, DFM, and manufacturing export automation.
The server now starts with the bounded default profile: 24 read-only review tools instead of the complete expert catalog. Use build with write mode for controlled edits, release with manufacturing mode for human-gated handoff, or expert/full only for advanced trusted clients. Current catalog counts and context-size estimates come from docs/evidence/progressive-disclosure-profile-snapshot.json; see docs/agents/progressive-disclosure.md.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
