easyeda-ai-assistant
Chat assistant that reviews EasyEDA Pro schematics and answers design questions about them.
What it does and how it connects
easyeda-ai-assistant is an EasyEDA Pro extension that reviews a finished schematic by chat instead of drawing one. It collects the schematic as text (components, pins, nets and connections) and hands it to a model the user configures, so the model can answer design questions, flag floating pins and check part choices against datasheets it looks up online. Clicking a component or net tag in the chat jumps to that item in the schematic.
It supports 13 or more model providers through OpenAI compatible APIs, including OpenAI, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, Qwen, Zhipu, Kimi, SiliconFlow, Doubao and Yi, with reasoning display for thinking models. The user supplies their own API key. Version 1.4.0 adds a read-only MCP bridge so Cursor, Claude Code or Codex can query schematic status, components, pins, nets, DRC results, BOM and the raw netlist over WebSocket and stdio.
Install it from the EasyEDA open-source plaza or from a GitHub release .eext file; it needs EasyEDA Pro 3.0 or later. The README is explicit that it does not draw schematics, and its roadmap lists a rules engine, PCB review and report export as not yet built.
What engineers report
Place and arrange components from the schematic onto the PCB (incorporating optional board boundaries and vision capabilities, if supported by the model). Create and adhere to design rules (including spacing and track width, optimized for auto-routing).

Recurring errors it addresses
Error Index entries this tool is built to reduce or work around.
- An agent moving parts on a 468-component, four-layer board got 110 'success' returns, then the connector dropped and some moves never persisted; even at batches of five with save and readback, the tool warned the readback and DRC could be reading stale engine state.Error Index
- An EasyEDA MCP extension read each arc's sweep angle in the board outline as a coordinate, shifting every value after it by one. The agent got a 55 mm square board with diagonal edges, poured ground to it, and native DRC found five floating copper regions on GND.Error Index
- The validator for an EasyEDA Pro agent skill looks for a literal DOCHEAD prefix, so real files saved by EasyEDA Pro 4.1 with a ticket field make it crash or skip a library document and report success.Error Index
- Asking the EasyEDA MCP server for a schematic PDF calls the PCB export, because the code tries the PCB function first and it always exists, so the schematic never comes back. The reporter says they use the right call daily through a locally patched extension.Error Index
