calligraphy_get_job_statusQuery the compilation and payment status of a Calligraphy EDA job (`job_id`). When `status` is `COMPLETED_AWAITING_PAYMENT`, returns `stablecoin_payment_instructions` with the job's unique watch-only `deposit_address` (`0x...`) for autonomous USDT/USDC checkout.
calligraphy_verify_stablecoin_paymentSubmit an on-chain `USDT` or `USDC` transaction hash (`tx_hash`) sent to the job's unique watch-only `deposit_address` on `base`, `arbitrum`, `polygon`, or `ethereum` to receive a private HMAC-SHA256 payment receipt (`receipt_hmac_sha256`) and immediately unlock `calligraphy_down
calligraphy_download_fab_bundleDownload the unlocked routed .kicad_pcb and turnkey JLCPCB/PCBWay .zip bundle (Gerbers, Excellon drills, IPC-D-356, BOM, CPL, and 3D HTML5 viewer) once paid via Stripe Checkout, autonomous USDT/USDC stablecoin verification, or active 30-day board license.
calligraphy_lookup_b2b_invoiceLook up a Calligraphy EDA job and generate a B2B Tax Invoice & Chain-of-Custody Certificate with custom PO number and company name.
calligraphy_create_coinbase_checkoutCreate a 1-Click Coinbase Pay / Coinbase Onchain Payment Protocol checkout session (and x402 AI-agent payment URL) settling in USDC on Base (chain_id=8453) with automatic DEX token conversion and zero gas-dust sweeping.
calligraphy_purge_job_vaultImmediately shred all enclave CAD and synthesis artifacts for job_id and return a cryptographically signed CertificateOfDestruction (zero_retention_verified=True).
calligraphy_route_pcbAlias for calligraphy_compile_board: synthesize and route a PCB through Calligraphy EDA (0 opens, 0 DRC) and return Stripe, Coinbase Pay (x402), and watch-only USDT/USDC payment instructions. Mode A (Zero-File Demo): Pass `sample_id='2l_rp2040'` (or `'2l_stickhub'`, `'4l_carrier'
calligraphy_request_ip_whitelistSubmit a Support Whitelist Request for an engineering team, corporate NAT IP, or PCB layout agency that needs higher daily compilation write limits (e.g. 25–100 compiles/day).

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.3.0) reached the registry yesterday.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

vibe-hardware-mcp)A zero-dependency Python 3 Model Context Protocol (`MCP`) server (`calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py`) for local KiCad `.kicad_pcb` & Specctra `.dsn` parsing, PCB transmission-line impedance & IPC-2152 current calculation, local Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) rule auditing, and multi-layer PCB trace routing.
calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py)This repository contains the complete, zero-dependency Python 3 MCP server implementation in calligraphy_mcp_stdio.py (containerized via Dockerfile):
| Tool Name | Execution | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `analyze_kicad_pcb` | Local Python | Parses .kicad_pcb S-expression files locally to extract copper layer stackup (F.Cu, B.Cu, In1.Cu..), board outline dimensions (Edge.Cuts in mm), footprint count, SMD/THT pad counts, fine-pitch (<= 0.50 mm) pad density, netlist count, and routed track/arc/via statistics. |
| `analyze_specctra_dsn` | Local Python | Parses Specctra .dsn autorouter files locally to extract units, resolution, signal/power layers, board boundary dimensions, component pin count, net connectivity, and design rule clearances/widths. |
| `calculate_pcb_trace_impedance` | Local Python | Closed-form IPC-2141A / Hammerstad-Jensen microstrip & stripline characteristic impedance ($Z_0$), edge-coupled differential pair impedance ($Z_{\text{diff}}$), propagation delay (ps/mm), and IPC-2152 DC current capacity / temperature-rise solver. |
| `audit_pcb_dfm_rules` | Local Python | Audits .kicad_pcb and .dsn trace widths, clearances, via drill diameters, and annular rings locally against standard_2l, standard_4l, and fine_hdi fabrication limits (JLCPCB / PCBWay). |
| `calligraphy_list_gallery_boards` | Local Python | Returns the built-in catalog of 13 verified open-source reference PCBs (100.0% routed completion, 0 native KiCad copper DRC violations). |
For dense multi-layer boards that require full 3D trace routing, G1 circular arc smoothing, teardrop pad reinforcement, and turnkey Gerber/Excellon/IPC-D-356 .ZIP generation, the server also exposes optional co-processor tools (calligraphy_preflight_audit, calligraphy_compile_board, calligraphy_get_job_status, calligraphy_download_fab_bundle, calligraphy_route_pcb).
