npm wrapper for the KiCad MCP Pro Python package.
Kicad MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Kicad directly instead of describing what you should do. npm wrapper for the KiCad MCP Pro Python package.
Drive KiCad schematic, PCB, DRC/ERC, DFM, and manufacturing review from any MCP-capable AI agent.
The server ships on npm as kicad-mcp-pro, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
You will need one environment variable: KICAD_MCP_MOUNT_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. 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 Kicad's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
