README

Vibe-Coding Hardware MCP Server (`vibe-hardware-mcp`)

A zero-dependency Python 3 Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py) for local KiCad .kicad_pcb & Specctra .dsn parsing, PCB transmission-line impedance & IPC-2152 current calculation, local Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) rule auditing, and multi-layer PCB trace routing.

Architecture & Included MCP Tools (`calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py`)

This repository contains the complete, zero-dependency Python 3 MCP server implementation in calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py (containerized via Dockerfile):

1. Local Offline PCB Analysis, Impedance & DFM Tools (100% Local Execution)

Tool Name	Execution	Description
`analyze_kicad_pcb`	Local Python	Parses `.kicad_pcb` S-expression files locally to extract copper layer stackup (`F.Cu`, `B.Cu`, `In1.Cu`..), board outline dimensions (`Edge.Cuts` in `mm`), footprint count, SMD/THT pad counts, fine-pitch (`<= 0.50 mm`) pad density, netlist count, and routed track/arc/via statistics.
`analyze_specctra_dsn`	Local Python	Parses Specctra `.dsn` autorouter files locally to extract units, resolution, signal/power layers, board boundary dimensions, component pin count, net connectivity, and design rule clearances/widths.
`calculate_pcb_trace_impedance`	Local Python	Closed-form IPC-2141A / Hammerstad-Jensen microstrip & stripline characteristic impedance ($Z_0$), edge-coupled differential pair impedance ($Z_{\text{diff}}$), propagation delay (`ps/mm`), and IPC-2152 DC current capacity / temperature-rise solver.
`audit_pcb_dfm_rules`	Local Python	Audits `.kicad_pcb` and `.dsn` trace widths, clearances, via drill diameters, and annular rings locally against `standard_2l`, `standard_4l`, and `fine_hdi` fabrication limits (JLCPCB / PCBWay).
`calligraphy_list_gallery_boards`	Local Python	Returns the built-in catalog of 13 verified open-source reference PCBs (`100.0%` routed completion, `0` native KiCad copper DRC violations).

2. Optional Cloud Co-Processor Tools (Multi-Layer 3D PCB Routing Offload)

For dense multi-layer boards that require full 3D trace routing, G1 circular arc smoothing, teardrop pad reinforcement, and turnkey Gerber/Excellon/IPC-D-356 .ZIP generation, the server also exposes optional co-processor tools (calligraphy_preflight_audit, calligraphy_compile_board, calligraphy_get_job_status, calligraphy_download_fab_bundle, calligraphy_route_pcb).

Quick Start (Local `stdio` & Docker)

Option 1: Run Locally via Python 3 (`stdio` Transport)

No external pip packages are required (uses Python 3.10+ standard library):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe-hardware-mcp": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/vibe-hardware-mcp/calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Run via Docker (`Dockerfile`)

docker build -t vibe-hardware-mcp .
docker run -i --rm vibe-hardware-mcp

Option 3: Remote Streamable-HTTP Endpoint (Claude Code / Cursor)

claude mcp add --transport http calligraphy-eda https://calligraphyeda.com/api/v1/mcp

Visual Proof: `55 / 55` Verified Open-Source Benchmark Sweep (`20 / 20` `PCBench Tier T` + `13 / 13` `Tier D` + `22 / 22` Multi-ECAD at `100.0%` Completion & `0` Native KiCad 9 DRC)
