# KiCad EDA

> Use this tool when you need to automate and streamline electronic design automation (EDA) tasks, such as schematic editing, PCB layout, and verification, to improve design efficiency and accuracy. It solves problems like manual design errors, inconsistent layouts, and time-consuming verification processes, providing a range of tools and safety guardrails to ensure high-quality outputs. With inputs including schematic and PCB designs, and outputs like verified Gerber files, use KiCad EDA in contexts where reliable and efficient EDA workflows are critical.

## Description

Full-workflow KiCad 9.x automation server providing 39 tools across schematic editing, PCB layout, library search, export, and verification. Uses a hybrid architecture combining direct S-expression parsing for schematic manipulation, a persistent pcbnew worker subprocess for PCB operations, and kicad-cli for exports and DRC/ERC. Includes safety guardrails that prevent Gerber generation until DRC errors are resolved.
