PartReel MCP

An MCP server providing access to a verified KiCad component registry, allowing AI agents to search, retrieve, and submit footprints, symbols, and 3D models for electronic design automation.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

PartReel: registry of verified KiCad parts (footprint/symbol/3D). search_parts -> get_part -> download URLs. All assets CC-BY-4.0, no auth.

Tools

7 advertised

search_parts

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Search the PartReel registry of verified KiCad components (footprint + symbol + 3D STEP/GLB, no login, CC-BY-4.0). Returns matching parts with ids. Use get_part for download URLs. Example queries: 'usb-c', 'jst ph 4pin', 'esp32', 'microsd', 'screw terminal'.

      "description": "Search text (name, family, keywords, pin count)"
    }
  }
}

get_part

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get full detail for one part by id: parameters, verification status, datasheet, and absolute download URLs for .kicad_mod (footprint), .kicad_sym (symbol), .step and .glb (3D).

list_parts

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

List all parts in the registry (id, name, family, pins).

report_feedback

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Report real-world usage feedback for a part (e.g. 'fabricated 5 boards at JLCPCB, footprint fit perfectly' or 'pad 3 misaligned'). Feedback is recorded publicly on GitHub and builds the part's field-proven trust score. Please report after actually using a part — both successes and problems help.

}

request_part

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Request on-demand generation of a parametric part that isn't in the registry yet. The registry generates it (footprint+symbol+3D), runs quality gates, and publishes it within ~5 minutes. Pin-count families (use 'pins'): pin_header_254 (2.54mm), pin_header_200 (2.0mm), pin_header_127 (1.27mm) — pins 1-40. Variant families (use 'variant'): ht73xx (LDO Vout code: 7318,7325,7327,7330,7333,7335,7341,7350), ht78xx (7818,7825,7827,7830,7833,7850), sy8008 (grade a/b/c = 0.6A/1A/1.2A), max1704x (17048,17049). Always try get_part / search_parts first.

how_to_contribute

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get machine-readable instructions for adding a new part to the registry (file layout, metadata schema, quality gates, PR process). Use when a part is missing.

submit_part

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Upload a part you built so it is SHARED IMMEDIATELY (status 'staging', unverified). It becomes searchable and downloadable right away; hourly CI then runs the full quality gates and opens a PR to promote it to the verified registry. Provide the full text of the .kicad_sym and .kicad_mod files plus metadata. Cite real datasheet dimensions in dimensions_source — copies of the official KiCad (CC-BY-SA) library are auto-rejected at promotion.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (2 of 2 answered).

2026-11-06: 1 of 1 checks answered
2026-11-07: 1 of 1 checks answered

30-day availability

Aggregated from read-only remote checks; this is not a tool-execution or security guarantee.

Successful checks: 1 of 1 (100%)
Average latency: 292 ms
95th percentile latency: 292 ms

Maintenance history

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add partreel-mcp --url https://mcp.partreel.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable partreel-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "partreel-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.partreel.com/mcp"
    }
  }

  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start partreel-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "partreel-mcp": {

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http partreel-mcp https://mcp.partreel.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Claude Desktop configuration
