KiCad Copilot

KiCad Copilot is the KiCad counterpart to EasyEDA Copilot. It provides the same core circuit-generation and PCB automation capabilities—and goes further with file-oriented hierarchical projects, recoverable checkpoints, native kicad-cli integration, and fully local PCB routing.

Integrated analysis: KiCad Copilot downloads a pinned, verified kicad-happy v2.2.0 release on first use of analyze_schematic or analyze_pcb. The MCP tools return compact, token-efficient actionable findings and focused design data.

What it does

KiCad Copilot gives AI agents a high-level, file-oriented interface to KiCad:

Generate and modify schematics: add, remove, replace, and connect real components without editing every KiCad object individually.
Rebuild schematic blocks: reorganize selected components while preserving their electrical connections.
Search components and reusable blocks: resolve components by MPN or part UUID and insert proven functional circuits.
Work with KiCad projects: inspect project trees and create projects, standalone schematics, hierarchical sheets, and PCB files.
Preserve recoverable checkpoints: save, list, and restore exact versions of individual KiCad files.
Synchronize schematic and PCB: explicitly import schematic changes into the associated board.
Generate PCB placement: describe board constraints in a compact JavaScript DSL, review PNG/SVG previews, and apply the approved result.
Route locally: use eda-copilot-router with its managed KRT backend without sending routing work to an external service.
Create copper pours: add simple full-board zones with optional stitching vias.
Use native KiCad tooling: discover kicad-cli for ERC, DRC, previews, exports, manufacturing files, and other native operations.

KiCad Copilot works directly with saved .kicad_pro, .kicad_sch, and .kicad_pcb files. It does not require KiCad IPC or a plugin installed inside KiCad.

Examples

These projects were generated and iterated through KiCad Copilot. The complete KiCad source files are available in the examples directory.
