CircuitDraft
Bare-bones native Mac schematic editor with optional MCP automation.
What it does and how it connects
CircuitDraft is a bare-bones native Mac electrical schematic editor, at version 0.1 Alpha. The README calls it an experimental first release, not a finished ECAD application: it has a tiny symbol library and basic editing tools, and the goal is to let people try the idea and say whether a native Mac schematic editor with MCP automation would be useful.
Version 0.1 ships seven original simplified symbols, resistor, normally open contact, coil, terminal, fuse, motor and protective ground, with placement, grid snapping, movement, 90-degree rotation, property editing, deletion and undo and redo, plus basic orthogonal wires linked to symbol pins, multiple schematic pages, and a parts list across the project. Projects are editable JSON, with PDF and SVG page exports and CSV parts exports.
Optional MCP tools can read and edit the running Mac app, using local files and opening no network listener. The README lists what is missing rather than hiding it: no EPLAN import or export, no simulator, no electrical rules checker, no automatic junction generation, no obstacle-aware wire routing, no cross-page electrical continuity, and no vendor catalog. Symbols are simplified drawings and standards compliance has not been verified.
Alternatives
Compare side by side- synth
A circuit compiler that turns text circuit descriptions into KiCad schematics, PCBs and BOMs, rather than a native Mac schematic editor.
- pcbcraft
A Rust schematic and PCB editor built MCP first, with KiCad library compatibility, rather than a bare-bones Mac-only schematic editor.
- tscircuit
Designs boards in TypeScript and React in a browser or CLI workflow, rather than a native Mac schematic editor.
- KiCadAI
Generates KiCad projects deterministically from behavioral requirements with a pass or refuse gate, rather than hand editing schematics.
