What is Altium Designer MCP?

Altium Designer MCP gives AI assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code Copilot file and primitive-placement tools for Altium .PcbLib footprint and .SchLib symbol libraries. The AI handles the engineering reasoning, such as pad sizes and courtyards, while the server writes valid library files that Altium can open.
