EasyEDA Pro MCP Docs

Use these docs to connect EasyEDA Pro to an MCP client and let an AI assistant inspect the project you already have open.

EasyEDA Pro MCP is an independent open-source project for PCB enthusiasts and professionals. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by EasyEDA or its company.

The shortest path is:

1. Build the project
2. Connect an MCP client
3. Install the EasyEDA Pro extension
4. Run easyeda_doctor

Start Here

• Quick Start: fastest setup for one AI tool
• Getting Started: first successful local setup
• AI Client Setup: Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Claude Code CLI, VS Code, and generic MCP clients
• EasyEDA Pro Extension Setup: install and connect the editor extension
• Troubleshooting: fixes by symptom

Reference

• Tools Reference: what each MCP tool does
• MCP Client Setup: generic MCP configuration
• Safety Model: read-only defaults and confirmed actions
• Architecture: how server, bridge, and extension fit together

What This Project Does

EasyEDA Pro MCP Bridge runs locally and connects:

MCP client -> Node.js MCP server -> local WebSocket bridge -> EasyEDA Pro extension

Once connected, an AI client can:

• read live editor status and document context
• inspect components, pins, nets, wires, and labels
• trace schematic nets and components
• verify targeted connection assertions
• navigate to components or regions
• export BOM, netlist, Gerber, and PDF files
• run a small set of editor-changing actions only after explicit confirmation

Current Scope

This project works against a live EasyEDA Pro session.

Required:

• EasyEDA Pro is open
• the local extension is installed and connected
• the MCP server is running
• your MCP client is configured to launch dist/index.js

Not included in this version:

• offline .epro parsing
• commercial/order operations
• unrestricted editor automation
