MCP tool router for KiCad 9. Never guess, never hand-route, never parallelize PCB writes.

When to use

Scenario	Use	Approach
Create schematic from design doc	Yes	`schematic()` operations
Generate PCB from schematic	Yes	`build_pcb_from_schematic`
Route a PCB	Yes	`autoroute(operation="run")` only
Fix DRC violations	Yes	`drc(operation="autofix")`
Export manufacturing files	Yes	`export()` Gerber/BOM/render
Hand-place a single trace	NO	LLM traces violate clearances

Iron rules

NEVER hand-route — pcb(add_trace/add_via) produces DRC-failing garbage. Use autoroute(operation="run").
NEVER guess names — footprint and symbol names change between KiCad versions. Always library(operation="search") first.
SERIALIZE PCB ops — MCP PCB tools do load/modify/save. Parallel calls corrupt the .kicad_pcb file.
VERIFY after changes — drc(operation="run") + audit(operation="all") before declaring done.
