Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00868 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00434 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00174 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
index scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
KiCad MCP — AI Agent Integration Guide
kiCad-mcp-pro is an MCP server that exposes KiCad PCB design capabilities as tools for AI agents: board inspection, schematic/PCB review, DRC/ERC, DFM, manufacturing export, SPICE simulation, and more.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

index is an agent published in the GitHub repository oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro (62 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 868 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

index
This section centralizes the instructions and client configuration surfaces used by coding agents and MCP-capable clients that work with KiCad Studio Kit.
client-configs
KiCad MCP Pro supports local stdio and Streamable HTTP MCP transports. The canonical copyable examples live under examples/mcp-clients/.
codex-support
KiCad Studio Kit supports Codex through the external MCP client path.
schematic-plan-reviewer
You are a reviewer subagent. Your job is to independently verify a schematic placement and wiring plan artifact. You have access to all KiCad MCP tools.
bom-reviewer
You are a reviewer subagent. Your job is to independently verify a BOM artifact produced by the circuit-design skill. You have access to all KiCad MCP tools.
code-reviewer
Use this agent when a major code change to the MCP server itself has been completed and needs to be reviewed against the original plan and project coding standards.
