Overview

AI-generated overview

Boardrepo is a hosted MCP server that lets an assistant search and review real KiCad and Altium PCB designs, including schematics, BOMs, netlists and DRC/ERC.

What you can do
Find and inspect public PCB boards, with metadata and file reads for schematics and BOMs, plus structured design queries and fabrication profiles. Trace schematic connectivity and run KiCad DRC/ERC checks, which may return a running status. Review boards the user owns, including private ones, once access is granted. All tools are read-only: nothing edits, deletes, uploads, renames or publishes a board.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up existing PCB designs, read a board's schematic connectivity or BOM, run design-rule checks, or review your own boards without leaving the chat.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at boardrepo.com over streamable HTTP, with BoardRepo OAuth authorization required. No local package, environment variables or headers are declared. Reading a user's own or private boards requires granting that access during authorization.
Before you install
Connecting requires granting BoardRepo OAuth access; reading your own boards, including private ones, depends on the scope you approve. The tools are described as read-only, so no board is edited, deleted, uploaded or published. Design data is handled by the hosted third-party service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Boardrepo in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.boardrepo%2Fboardrepo/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

BoardRepo plugin

BoardRepo connects ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork to real PCB projects. It combines BoardRepo's hosted MCP tools with one shared workflow skill for finding boards, reading schematic connectivity and BOMs, running checks, and reviewing boards a user owns.

The OpenAI package is for the universal Plugins Directory shared by ChatGPT and Codex. The Claude package complements BoardRepo's existing connector listing by adding the same workflow skill for Claude Code and Cowork. Both wrappers use the same hosted service and the same skill in this folder.

Package contents

  • .codex-plugin/plugin.json contains the ChatGPT and Codex package metadata.
  • .app.json references BoardRepo's registered OpenAI MCP integration.
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json contains the Claude package metadata and hosted MCP connection.
  • skills/boardrepo/SKILL.md is the shared provider-neutral workflow.
  • assets/ contains BoardRepo's approved light and dark icons.

The package contains no local server, access token, reviewer account, user data, cached analysis, or analytics. The OpenAI app identifier is public connection metadata, not a credential. Tool access is authorized by BoardRepo OAuth when a user connects.

What it can do

The hosted server exposes 15 tools for public-board discovery, board metadata, file and BOM reads, schematic connectivity, KiCad DRC/ERC, fabrication profiles, structured design queries, and owner-authorized reviews. Every tool is read-only. Checks and reviews may return a running status, but no tool edits, deletes, uploads, renames, or publishes a board.

Public boards are available by default. Reading a user's own boards, including private ones, requires the user to grant that access during BoardRepo authorization.

How the guidance is split

The server's initialize instructions are the authority for safety and review-reporting rules. The bundled skill supplies the operational workflow: how to find a board, choose the right tool, page results, run expensive checks carefully, and verify findings. When wording differs, the live server instructions and tool descriptors win.

Validate

From the plugin package root:

bash
claude plugin validate --strict .

To load the Claude package for one local session:

bash
claude --plugin-dir .

The release source validates the Codex manifest and registered app mapping against the current plugin ingestion contract before this package is mirrored here. Directory preview testing remains required before either submission is published.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
