About altium-designer-mcp

altium-designer-mcp Let an AI build your Altium libraries — it does the engineering, this tool writes the files. An MCP server that gives AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VSCode Copilot) file I/O and primitive-placement tools for Altium Designer (footprint) and (symbol) libraries — so the AI can create and maintain any component, not just pre-programmed packages. The Problem Building Altium component libraries by hand is slow and repetitive — every footprint means looking up IPC-7351B pad sizes, courtyards, and silkscreen, then placing each primitive by hand. AI assistants are excellent at exactly that reasoning, but they cannot write Altium's binary / files — an undocumented OLE compound format that is easy to corrupt, and Altium silently refuses to open a malformed file.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
