You can use it to investigate component connections, make supported design edits, and request checks against actual project data. The available operations depend on the MCP server you install.<\/p>\n<p>This guide uses Windows, KiCad 10, Konnect, and Claude Desktop to explain the connection process and a first PCB edit. You will move one footprint, compare the result with its starting state, and check whether the edit introduced a board-rule violation. The walkthrough follows project documentation; the example is a practice exercise rather than a measured test result.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"KiCad MCP\" class=\"wp-image-35899\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-1.jpg\" width=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_KiCad_MCP\"><\/span>What Is KiCad MCP?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>KiCad MCP is a general name for integrations that give AI applications access to KiCad-related tools through the Model Context Protocol. Different servers expose different features, so there is no single installation that represents every KiCad MCP project.<\/p>\n<p>The connection works like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your request \u2192 AI application \u2192 MCP server \u2192 KiCad data or tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AI application interprets your request and calls an available tool. The server carries out the operation through its supported interface, such as KiCad&#8217;s API, a project file, or a command-line tool. The Model Context Protocol provides the communication framework between the application and server.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you might ask which pins connect to a particular net before investigating a schematic problem. In an editing workflow, you might ask the assistant to move a footprint to a specified position. The practical benefit is that the answer or action can be tied to the design you are working on.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_AI_Assistants_Work_with_KiCad_MCP\"><\/span>Which AI Assistants Work with KiCad MCP?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Claude Desktop, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf have configuration routes documented by the projects below.

Use a separate practice copy of an existing project, keeping its board, schematic, and project settings together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Install the Konnect plugin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Download the Windows PCM ZIP from <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mixelpixx\/Konnect\/releases\">Konnect Releases<\/a>. In KiCad 10, open Plugin and Content Manager, choose Install from File, select the ZIP, and restart KiCad. Check Tools \u2192 External Plugins in the PCB Editor for Konnect. The PCM ZIP is the plugin package; other release archives may contain standalone server binaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Connect Konnect to the open board.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Open the practice board and enable the KiCad API under Plugins in KiCad&#8217;s preferences. Copy the complete listening address, including <code>ipc:\/\/<\/code>. In Konnect&#8217;s settings, paste that address into the IPC Socket field and save it. This address must come from your own KiCad session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Register Konnect in Claude Desktop.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edit <code>%APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json<\/code>. If you have no existing server configuration, use the following structure. Otherwise, add only the <code>konnect<\/code> entry inside your existing <code>mcpServers<\/code> object, keeping the other entries intact.<\/p>\n<pre><code>{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"konnect\": {\n      \"command\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\YOUR_NAME\\\\Documents\\\\KiCad\\\\10.0\\\\3rdparty\\\\plugins\\\\com_github_mixelpixx_konnect\\\\bin\\\\konnect.exe\"\n    }\n  }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Replace the example command with the actual installed executable path.

A first edit should be easy to inspect, such as moving one unlocked, unrouted resistor on a practice board.<\/p>\n<p>The Konnect tool directory covers schematic operations, footprint placement, routing, and checks. These are distinct tasks: moving a component is a useful introduction to editing, while routing requires its own instructions and review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepare a baseline before changing anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose a resistor with enough clear space around it for a 2 mm move. Save the practice project and keep an untouched copy for comparison. In the PCB Editor, run Inspect \u2192 Design Rules Checker with zone refill enabled and save the report. This gives you the board&#8217;s starting condition, including any existing unconnected items.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the component&#8217;s starting state.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use its actual reference in this prompt; R1 is the example:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Find R1 on the practice board. Report its X and Y coordinates in millimetres, rotation, board side, and pad net names. Do not modify it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Check these values in KiCad&#8217;s footprint properties and pad properties. Use the same coordinate origin and units throughout the comparison. If the returned data does not match, resolve the discrepancy before continuing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Request one specific edit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Move R1 by +2.0 mm along the board&#8217;s X axis. Keep its Y coordinate, rotation, board side, and pad net assignments unchanged. Do not change tracks, vias, other components, or design rules. Stop if R1 is locked or the operation cannot be completed as specified.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>An axis and distance give you a measurable result. An instruction such as \u201cimprove the layout\u201d leaves the assistant to decide which objects and relationships it can change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read back the position.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Read R1 again using the board tools. Report its current coordinates, rotation, board side, and pad net names, and compare them with the starting values.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The expected relationship is:<\/p>\n<p><code>X_after = X_before + 2.0 mm; Y_after = Y_before<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Verify the result in KiCad. Reading R1 back establishes its reported state; checking for unrelated changes requires a wider comparison, as described below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Check_AI_Changes_in_KiCad\"><\/span>How Do You Check AI Changes in KiCad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Check three things: whether the requested change happened, whether other design objects changed, and whether the board developed new rule violations. Each requires different evidence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Check<\/th>\n<th>Evidence to use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Requested footprint move<\/td>\n<td>Before-and-after footprint and pad properties in KiCad<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Unrelated changes<\/td>\n<td>A comparison with the untouched board, including object properties and saved-file differences where needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>New board-rule violations<\/td>\n<td>DRC reports from before and after the edit, using the same settings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Inspect the board beyond the moved footprint.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Look for overlap with adjacent components, movement across the board edge, and unexpected changes to nearby tracks or vias. Compare the edited board with the untouched copy before accepting the change. A saved-file diff can reveal additional edits, but formatting changes and generated data still need interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>A visual review is useful for placement; it does not establish that every property stayed unchanged. If you have only checked R1, keep the conclusion limited to R1. An AI statement that \u201cnothing else changed\u201d needs supporting comparison data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compare the DRC results.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Run the checker again with zone refill enabled, using the same rules as the baseline. Inspect individual findings and their locations. A board can have the same total error count while one old problem disappears and a different problem appears.<\/p>\n<p>On an unrouted practice board, existing unconnected items may remain after a successful move. Investigate newly introduced violations and any unexpected changes to the earlier findings. If the edit is wrong, undo it in KiCad or restore the practice copy, then recheck before trying again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match the check to the design change.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A footprint-only move calls for placement, connectivity, and board-rule review. If you also change the schematic, run electrical rule checking and check that the schematic and PCB remain consistent. Neither test establishes the circuit&#8217;s functional performance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"KiCad MCP\" class=\"wp-image-35901\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-3.jpg\" width=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-3.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bestpcbs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kicad-mcp-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Fix_KiCad_MCP_Connection_Problems\"><\/span>How Do You Fix KiCad MCP Connection Problems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First determine whether the failure is between Claude Desktop and the server, or between the server and KiCad.
