What it does and how it connects
codex-jlc-eda is a local MCP server and skill that lets Codex-style agents edit JLCEDA Pro boards against real component models, using isolated working copies and verified saves. It is a community alpha developer preview, not a JLC or OpenAI official project, and it exposes 35 MCP tools.
The README's latest verified run built a small RC signal-filter board in EDA Pro 4.1.71: 8 devices, 13 pins, 3 nets, 21 track segments, 0 vias, strict DRC at 0, and 41 manufacturing files, with a follow-on run swapping C1 from 10 nF to a compatible 100 nF part while keeping non-target content, nets, layout, rules, and existing copper. The manufacturing result was recorded as filesValid true and manufacturingReady false, with assembly orientation, 3D, and physical performance still to verify.
Its stated scope is single-page, single-board, low-voltage, two-layer small boards on macOS with Node.js 20 or newer and JLCEDA desktop Pro. High-speed, RF, high-voltage, multi-board, arbitrary package swaps, and whole-board automatic optimization are outside the verified scope.
All published releases are prereleases (latest is v0.11.0-alpha.3, 2026-10-10), so the stable latest-release endpoint returns no release.
