KiCad MCP Pro — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for KiCad MCP Pro?
KiCad MCP Pro runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package kicad-mcp-pro was installed 3 467 times last week.
How do I connect KiCad MCP Pro?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls kicad-mcp-pro straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use KiCad MCP Pro?
The npm package kicad-mcp-pro was installed 3 467 times in the last week. Week over week that is -37%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is KiCad MCP Pro open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 43 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
