pcbcraft

PCBCraft is a Rust EDA application, MCP first, with one window and tabbed workspaces for schematic, PCB layout, libraries and checks. It is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later and is inspired by KiCad workflows and the SolidCraft application architecture. The README states its status plainly: a first working foundation, not a KiCad replacement yet.

The current vertical slice runs from a flat schematic through assigned SMD PCB, basic routing and checks to KiCad board export. It reads installed KiCad symbol and footprint libraries, including inherited definitions, places supported symbols with independently movable schematic units, and syncs schematic to PCB while retaining placements and reconciling pad nets. The engine exposes 26 commands with discoverable schemas, atomic batches, stable IDs, revision guards, 32-step undo and redo, and validated atomic project saves, and the MCP server exposes 44 tools covering every engine command plus library discovery, design inspection, checks, persistence, export and PNG previews.

A single Rust binary drives the desktop app, a command line, and AI agents over MCP, and the shared UI and engine also compile to WebAssembly. The README notes the route tool is a simple orthogonal pad-to-pad operation and that constrained and parametric outline sketches are planned, not built.
