fpgaZeroMCP

MCP Tool

lcapossio/fpgaZeroMCP

An open-source Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants a complete FPGA toolchain — lint, simulate, synthesize, place-and-route, and a live IP core registry backed by GitHub.

Install

$ npx loaditout add lcapossio/fpgaZeroMCP

Platform-specific configuration:

.claude/settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fpgaZeroMCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "fpgaZeroMCP"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add the config above to .claude/settings.json under the mcpServers key.

About

fpgaZeroMCP

An open-source Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants a complete FPGA toolchain — lint, simulate, synthesize, place-and-route, and a live IP core registry backed by GitHub.

Ask your AI to search for cores, pull them in, lint HDL, synthesize a design, or run a simulation — all without leaving your chat window.

How it works
Your AI assistant  <-->  fpgaZeroMCP (stdio MCP server)  <-->  OSS tools
                                    |
                           cores/   registry on GitHub
                           (uart_tx, fifo + any imported)

The MCP server runs as a local subprocess. Your AI calls tools on it over JSON-RPC (stdio). The server shells out to Yosys, nextpnr, iverilog, Verilator, and others from OSS CAD Suite — and can pull open-source FPGA cores directly from GitHub.

Prerequisites

| Requirement | Notes | |---|---| | Python 3.11+ | | | OSS CAD Suite | Bundles iverilog, Yosys, nextpnr, Verilator, Verible, GHDL in one download | | LiteX + litex-boards | Optional — only needed for LiteX tools |

Add OSS CAD Suite to your `PA
