AI-assisted PCB design for KiCAD 10. Native KiCAD plugin — a single Rust binary exposing 217 schematic, layout, routing, placement, design-review, and manufacturing tools to Claude, or the LLM of your choosing
Konnect is a native KiCAD 10 plugin — a single Rust binary exposing ~228 MCP tools that let Claude or other LLM assistants do schematic capture, PCB layout, routing, placement, ERC/DRC design reviews, part search, and manufacturing export. It uses KiCAD's official IPC API, on-demand toolset loading to save LLM context, and atomic schematic file edits.
Why now: It's a fresh beta release and a Rust rewrite of the author's earlier KiCAD-MCP-Server, gaining attention on Hacker News as AI-assisted hardware design picks up momentum.
Who it is for: Electrical engineers and hardware hobbyists who use KiCAD and want AI assistants to help design boards.
