KiCad MCP Server This guide will help you set up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for KiCad. While the examples in this guide often reference Claude Desktop, the server is compatible with any MCP-compliant client. You can use it with Claude Desktop, your own custom MCP clients, or any other application that implements the Model Context Protocol.

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.
