How to install eda-agent

git clone https://github.com/salitronic/eda-agent
claude mcp add altium eda-agent

Taken from the project's README on GitHub. Check the security audit before running it.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 66/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours. Full audit →

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About eda-agent

eda-agent MCP server that lets an AI (or any MCP-compatible client) interact with a live Altium Designer session. It exposes 300+ tools covering schematic, PCB, library, project, and design-agent operations over a persistent DelphiScript bridge. The AI reads the design you currently have open, asks questions about it, and can modify it in place while you watch. ⚠️ Experimental.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. 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.
