easyeda-client-cli
Official EasyEDA Pro desktop client CLI and local bridge from EasyEDA, letting scripts or AI coding assistants drive the running editor, execute JavaScript via the extension API, run as an MCP server and export manufacturing files
What it does and how it connects
easyeda-client-cli is the command line client and local bridge service shipped inside the EasyEDA Pro desktop client. It lets you control a running editor from a script, or lets an AI coding assistant drive the editor directly, from automated design all the way to exporting manufacturing files.
The CLI opens and creates projects, manages multiple editor windows as sessions, executes JavaScript inside the editor and therefore calls any extension API, queries the extension API reference and the design file format reference for .eprj3 files, and returns results as uniform JSON for scripts and AI to parse. It can also run as an MCP server, serving directly as a tool for an AI coding assistant.
The CLI requires EasyEDA Pro desktop client V4.1.70 or above, and the README recommends always downloading the latest version, since older versions do not include the CLI. Documentation in the repo covers the command line client, a guide written for AI coding assistants, and the V3 design file format behind .eprj3 and .epro2 projects.
What engineers report
The documentation says it requires EasyEDA Pro desktop client V4.1.70 or above, but the easyeda download center only has 3.2.09.
