MCP server for EasyEDA Pro: PCB inspection, BOM, exports, and hardware review.
MCP server for EasyEDA Pro: PCB inspection, BOM, exports, and hardware review. Exposed over MCP by the easyeda mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Production-grade MCP server for EasyEDA Pro: safe PCB design inspection, BOM sourcing, manufacturing export, and AI-assisted hardware review.
easyeda-mcp-pro is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges AI assistants with hardware design workflows in EasyEDA Pro. It exposes up to 115 profile-gated MCP tools for schematic inspection and editing, controlled EasyEDA Pro API calls, BOM management, design rule checks, PCB board analysis, fabrication exports, diagnostics, and supplier integration.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Node.js — Node.js 24.x is required; repository automation is pinned to 24.18.0pnpm — local development and automation require exactly 11.5.1Windows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonmacOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonLinux — ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonJLCPCB — JLCPCB_MODE=approved_api + client ID/secretLCSC — JLCSEARCH_ENABLED=true (default, no key required for basic search)Mouser — MOUSER_ENABLED=true + API keyDigiKey — DIGIKEY_ENABLED=true + OAuth2 client ID/secretArea — What you can doSchematic — List nets/components, search and place devices, edit wires/primitivesBOM — Generate, validate, export, and source bill of materialsYou will need 7 environment variables: TOOL_PROFILE, MCP_REMOTE_SESSION_ID, BRIDGE_HOST, BRIDGE_TOKEN, SQLITE_PATH, AI_API_KEY, HTTP_HOST. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at easyeda-mcp-pro on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Easyeda's toolset — Node.js, pnpm, Windows and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Easyeda's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
