Boardrepo MCP server

What it does

BoardRepo connects AI assistants to a library of real KiCad and Altium PCB designs for read-only access. Users can search public boards, inspect schematics and BOMs, run design checks, and review their own projects.

• Search and retrieve PCB board designs from a public repository to study schematic topology and component selection.
• Review bills of materials and netlists for boards you own to verify connectivity and component specifications.
• Run KiCad DRC/ERC checks and query design rules against fabrication profiles for boards in your account.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
