- This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
3
+ MCP server for **[Proofboard](https://nemalsomel.github.io/proofboard/)** – a perfboard / stripboard circuit designer and simulator.
4
+ It lets Claude (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or any MCP client) place parts, connect pins (wiring is routed automatically),
5
+ compact the layout, simulate, check problems and generate firmware code.
6
+
7
+ - **Live in the browser:** open Proofboard and choose *File › Claude connection… › Connect*. Claude's changes then appear
8
+ live on your board; a bar shows while Claude is working (manual editing pauses), and each working session is one undo step.
9
+ A *read only* switch lets Claude look and check without changing anything.
10
+ - **Headless:** without the app, the server works on an in-memory design that Claude can save to a file
11
+ (`save_design_file`) and you can open in the app (*File › Open*).
12
+
13
+ Claude uses your own Claude subscription – no API key is needed.
14
+
15
+ ## Setup
16
+
17
+ Requires Node.js 18+.
18
+
19
+ **Claude Desktop** – Settings › Developer › Edit Config (`claude_desktop_config.json`), then restart Claude:
20
+
21
+ ```json
22
+ { "mcpServers": { "proofboard": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "proofboard-mcp"] } } }
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ **Claude Code:**
26
+
27
+ ```sh
28
+ claude mcp add proofboard -- npx -y proofboard-mcp
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ Then open https://nemalsomel.github.io/proofboard/ › *File › Claude connection…* › *Connect*, and ask Claude e.g.
32
+ “Design a LED blinker on the Pico, then check that it is compact.”
33
+
34
+ ## Options
35
+
36
+ | Option | |
37
+ |---|---|
38
+ | `--port N` (or `PROOFBOARD_PORT`) | bridge port (default 47615; set the same port in the app under *Advanced*) |
39
+ | `--no-bridge` | headless only |
40
+ | `--allow-origin URL` | also accept the app from another origin (self-hosted copy) |
41
+
42
+ ## Security
43
+
44
+ The bridge listens on `127.0.0.1` only and accepts browser connections only from the Proofboard site (and localhost).
45
+ The app connects only when you press *Connect* (or enable auto-connect), and you can disconnect at any time.
46
+
47
+ ## Tools
48
+
49
+ `bridge_status`, `open_design_file`, `save_design_file`, and the Proofboard design tools: `get_design`, `list_part_types`,
50
+ `describe_part_type`, `get_part`, `place_part`, `move_part`, `set_params`, `remove_parts`, `connect`, `disconnect`, `route`,
51
+ `get_problems`, `simulate`, `set_gpio_mode`, `add_note`, `generate_code`, `get_board_image` (live only), `set_project_notes`,
52
+ `plan_compaction`, `compact_layout`, `set_fixed`, `list_examples` / `load_example` (live only), `new_design`.
