+# KiCAD Schematic MCP Server
+
+**Professional KiCAD Schematic Manipulation with Claude Code Integration**
+
+Transform natural language into professional KiCAD schematics using AI. This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides Claude Code with powerful tools for creating, editing, and managing KiCAD schematic files with exact format preservation.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start - One Command Installation
+
+**For macOS/Linux:**
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/circuit-synth/kicad-sch-api/main/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+**For Windows (PowerShell):**
+```powershell
+iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/circuit-synth/kicad-sch-api/main/install.ps1 | iex
+```
+
+**⏱️ Installation time: 2 minutes | Setup time: 30 seconds | Ready to design! 🚀**
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+- **KiCAD 8.0+** installed (for component symbol libraries)
+- **Claude Code** installed ([download here](https://claude.ai/code))
+- **Python 3.8+** (automatically handled by installation script)
+
+## ✨ What You Get
+
+After installation, use natural language in Claude Code to:
+
+```
+"Create a voltage divider with two 10kΩ resistors"
+"Add an ESP32 microcontroller with USB connector" 
+"Generate a hierarchical schematic with power supply subcircuit"
+"Export component list with manufacturer part numbers"
+```
+
+## 🎯 Key Features
+
+- **🤖 AI-Native**: Built specifically for Claude Code integration
+- **📋 Exact Format Preservation**: Output matches KiCAD's native formatting exactly
+- **⚡ High Performance**: Optimized for large schematics with intelligent caching
+- **🏗️ Hierarchical Design**: Full support for complex multi-sheet schematics
+- **📚 Component Discovery**: Intelligent search across 13,000+ KiCAD symbols
+- **🔍 Advanced Analysis**: Component filtering, area selection, and validation
+- **✅ Professional Quality**: Comprehensive error handling and reporting
+
+## 🆚 vs. Existing Solutions
+
+| Feature | kicad-sch-api | Other Solutions | KiCAD Native |
+|---------|---------------|-----------------|--------------|
+| **AI Integration** | ✅ Claude Code | ❌ None | ❌ None |
+| **Format Preservation** | ✅ Exact | ⚠️ Basic | ✅ Native |
+| **Component Discovery** | ✅ 13,000+ | ⚠️ Limited | ⚠️ Manual |
+| **Hierarchical Support** | ✅ Complete | ⚠️ Varies | ✅ Native |
+| **Performance** | ✅ Optimized | ⚠️ Basic | ⚠️ GUI Only |
+| **Automation** | ✅ Full API | ❌ None | ⚠️ Limited |
+
+## 📦 Installation Options
+
+Choose the method that works best for you:
+
+### 🚀 Option 1: One-Click Setup (Recommended)
+
+The installation script automatically:
+- ✅ Installs the MCP server via pip
+- ✅ Configures Claude Code MCP settings
+- ✅ Tests the connection
+- ✅ Displays usage examples
+
+### 🐳 Option 2: Docker Container
+
+```bash
+# Pull and run the container
+docker run -d --name kicad-mcp -p 3000:3000 circuitsynth/kicad-sch-api:latest
+```
+
+### 🛠️ Option 3: From Source (Developers)
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/circuit-synth/kicad-sch-api.git
+cd kicad-sch-api
+pip install -e .
+kicad-sch-api --setup-claude-code
+```
+
+### 📦 Option 4: PyPI Package (Coming Soon)
+
+```bash
+pip install kicad-sch-api
+kicad-sch-api --setup-claude-code
+```
+
+## 🎯 Quick Start Examples
+
+### Basic Circuit Creation
+
+Ask Claude Code:
+```
+Create a simple LED circuit with a 220Ω current limiting resistor
+```
+
+Claude Code will:
+1. Create a new schematic file
+2. Add LED component from Device library
+3. Add 220Ω resistor with proper footprint
+4. Connect components with wires
+5. Add power supply connections
+6. Save with exact KiCAD formatting
+
+### Advanced Hierarchical Design
+
+```
+Design a microcontroller board with separate power supply and USB interface subcircuits
+```
+
+Claude Code will:
+1. Create main schematic with hierarchical sheets
+2. Generate power supply subcircuit with regulators
+3. Create USB interface subcircuit with connectors
+4. Add inter-sheet connections and labels
+5. Export complete project with proper hierarchy
+
+### Component Discovery and Analysis
+
+```
+Find all operational amplifiers in the project and update their footprints to SOIC-8
+```
+
+Claude Code will:
+1. Search through all schematic sheets
+2. Identify op-amp components by symbol library
+3. Update footprint properties systematically
+4. Generate change report with before/after comparison
+
