+# KiCAD Schematic API
+
+**Professional Python library for KiCAD schematic file manipulation with exact format preservation**
+
+## Overview
+
+Create and manipulate KiCAD schematic files programmatically with guaranteed exact format preservation. This library serves as the foundation for EDA automation tools and AI agents that need reliable, professional-grade schematic manipulation capabilities.
+
+## 🎯 Core Features
+
+- **📋 Exact Format Preservation**: Byte-perfect KiCAD output that matches native formatting
+- **🏗️ Professional Component Management**: Object-oriented collections with search and validation
+- **⚡ High Performance**: Optimized for large schematics with intelligent caching
+- **🔍 Real KiCAD Library Integration**: Access to actual KiCAD symbol libraries and validation
+- **🤖 AI Agent Ready**: MCP server for seamless integration with AI development tools
+- **📚 Hierarchical Design**: Complete support for multi-sheet schematic projects
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install from PyPI
+pip install kicad-sch-api
+
+# Or install from source
+git clone https://github.com/circuit-synth/kicad-sch-api.git
+cd kicad-sch-api/python
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+import kicad_sch_api as ksa
+
+# Create a new schematic
+sch = ksa.create_schematic("My Circuit")
+
+# Add components with proper validation
+resistor = sch.components.add(
+    lib_id="Device:R",
+    reference="R1", 
+    value="10k",
+    position=(100.0, 100.0),
+    footprint="Resistor_SMD:R_0603_1608Metric",
+    datasheet="~",
+    description="Resistor"
+)
+
+capacitor = sch.components.add(
+    lib_id="Device:C",
+    reference="C1", 
+    value="100nF",
+    position=(150.0, 100.0),
+    footprint="Capacitor_SMD:C_0603_1608Metric"
+)
+
+# Save with exact format preservation
+sch.save("my_circuit.kicad_sch")
+```
+
+### Hierarchical Design
+
+```python
+# Create main schematic with hierarchical sheet
+main_sch = ksa.create_schematic("Main Board")
+
+# Add hierarchical sheet
+power_sheet = main_sch.add_hierarchical_sheet(
+    name="Power Supply",
+    filename="power.kicad_sch",
+    position=(100, 100),
+    size=(80, 60)
+)
+
+# Add sheet pins for connectivity
+power_sheet.add_pin("VIN", pin_type="input", position=(0, 10))
+power_sheet.add_pin("VOUT", pin_type="output", position=(80, 10))
+
+# Create the sub-schematic
+power_sch = ksa.create_schematic("Power Supply")
+power_sch.add_hierarchical_label("VIN", label_type="input", position=(50, 25))
+power_sch.add_hierarchical_label("VOUT", label_type="output", position=(150, 25))
+
+# Save both schematics
+main_sch.save("main.kicad_sch")
+power_sch.save("power.kicad_sch")
+```
+
+## 🔧 Advanced Features
+
+### Component Search and Management
+
+```python
+# Search for components
+resistors = sch.components.find(lib_id_pattern='Device:R*')
+power_components = sch.components.filter(reference_pattern=r'U[0-9]+')
+
+# Bulk updates
+sch.components.bulk_update(
+    criteria={'lib_id': 'Device:R'},
+    updates={'properties': {'Tolerance': '1%'}}
+)
+
+# Component validation
+validation_result = sch.components.validate_component(
+    'Device:R', 
+    'Resistor_SMD:R_0603_1608Metric'
+)
+```
+
+### KiCAD Integration
+
+```python
+# Run electrical rules check using KiCAD CLI
+erc_result = sch.run_erc_check()
+print(f"ERC Status: {erc_result.status}")
+for violation in erc_result.violations:
+    print(f"- {violation.type}: {violation.message}")
+
+# Generate netlist for connectivity analysis
+netlist = sch.generate_netlist()
+net_info = netlist.analyze_net("VCC")
+```
+
+## 🤖 AI Agent Integration (MCP Server)
+
+Use with Claude Code or other AI agents via Model Context Protocol:
+
+### Setup MCP Server
+
+```bash
+# Install MCP server
+pip install kicad-sch-api[mcp]
+
+# Configure for Claude Code (automatic)
+kicad-sch-api --setup-claude-code
+```
+
+### Usage with AI Agents
+
+```
+# Natural language commands to your AI agent:
+"Create a voltage divider with two 10kΩ resistors"
+"Add an ESP32 microcontroller with USB connector" 
+"Generate a hierarchical schematic with power supply subcircuit"
+```
+
+The AI agent will use the MCP server to:
+1. Create professional schematics with proper component references
+2. Use hierarchical labels instead of messy wires
+3. Apply KiCAD design best practices automatically
+4. Generate clean, industry-standard layouts
+
+### Available MCP Tools

-
-## 🎯 Quick Start
-
-### Basic Schematic Manipulation
-
-```python
-import kicad_sch_api as ksa
-
-# Create new schematic
-sch = ksa.create_schematic('My Circuit')
-
-# Add components
-resistor = sch.components.add('Device:R', reference='R1', value='10k', position=(100, 100))
-capacitor = sch.components.add('Device:C', reference='C1', value='0.1uF', position=(150, 100))
-
-# Update properties
-resistor.footprint = 'Resistor_SMD:R_0603_1608Metric'
-resistor.set_property('MPN', 'RC0603FR-0710KL')
-
-# Save with exact format preservation
-sch.save('my_circuit.kicad_sch')
-```
-
-### Advanced Operations
-
-```python
-# Bulk operations for large schematics
-resistors = sch.components.filter(lib_id='Device:R')
-for r in resistors:
-    r.set_property('Tolerance', '1%')
-
-# Search and analysis
-power_components = sch.components.in_area(0, 0, 50, 50)
-high_value_resistors = sch.components.filter(
-    lib_id='Device:R', 
-    value_pattern='*k'  # Components with 'k' in value
-)
-
-# Validation and error checking
-issues = sch.validate()
-if issues:
-    print(f"Found {len(issues)} validation issues:")
-    for issue in issues:
-        print(f"  {issue}")
-
-# Performance statistics
-stats = sch.get_performance_stats()
-print(f"Cache hit rate: {stats['symbol_cache']['hit_rate_percent']}%")
-```
-
-
-
-```json
-{
-  "kicad-sch": {
-    "command": "node",
-    "env": {
-      "PYTHON_PATH": "python3",
-      "KICAD_SCH_API_PATH": "/path/to/kicad-sch-api/python"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Then use natural language with your AI agent:
-
-```
-User: "Create a voltage divider circuit with two 10k resistors"
-
-Claude: I'll create a voltage divider circuit for you.
-
-1. Create new schematic
-2. Add R1 (10k resistor) at (100, 100)
-3. Add R2 (10k resistor) at (100, 150) 
-4. Connect components with wires
-5. Add voltage input and output labels
-6. Save schematic with exact formatting
-
-Your voltage divider circuit is ready! The circuit provides 50% voltage division
-with two 10kΩ resistors in series configuration.
-```
