feat: Implement IPC backend for real-time UI synchronization
Add KiCAD IPC API backend using kicad-python library for real-time communication with KiCAD 9.0+. Changes now appear instantly in KiCAD UI without manual reload. Key changes: - Implement IPCBackend and IPCBoardAPI classes for IPC communication - Auto-detect IPC availability and fall back to SWIG when unavailable - Route existing commands (route_trace, add_via, place_component, etc.) through IPC automatically when available - Add transaction support for proper undo/redo - Add socket path auto-detection for Linux (/tmp/kicad/api.sock) New commands: - get_backend_info: Check which backend is active Supported IPC operations: - Board: set_size, get_board_info, save - Routing: route_trace, add_via, add_net - Components: place, move, delete, list - Text: add_text, add_board_text SWIG backend is now deprecated and will be removed when KiCAD 10.0 drops SWIG support. Requires: kicad-python>=0.5.0, KiCAD 9.0+ with IPC enabled 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

||||
|
||||
## IPC Backend Implementation - Real-time UI Synchronization
|
||||
|
||||
This release implements the **KiCAD IPC API backend**, enabling real-time UI synchronization between the MCP server and KiCAD. Changes made through MCP tools now appear **instantly** in the KiCAD UI without requiring manual reload.
|
||||
|
||||
### Major Features
|
||||
|
||||
#### Real-time UI Sync via IPC API
|
||||
- **Instant updates**: Tracks, vias, components, and text appear immediately in KiCAD
|
||||
- **No reload required**: Eliminates the manual File > Reload workflow
|
||||
- **Transaction support**: Operations can be grouped for single undo/redo steps
|
||||
- **Auto-detection**: Server automatically uses IPC when KiCAD is running with IPC enabled
|
||||
|
||||
#### Automatic Backend Selection
|
||||
- IPC backend is now the **default** when available
|
||||
- Transparent fallback to SWIG when IPC unavailable
|
||||
- Environment variable `KICAD_BACKEND` for explicit control:
|
||||
- `auto` (default): Try IPC first, fall back to SWIG
|
||||
- `ipc`: Force IPC only
|
||||
- `swig`: Force SWIG only (deprecated)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Commands with IPC Support
|
||||
The following commands now automatically use IPC for real-time updates:
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Description |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `route_trace` | Add traces with instant UI update |
|
||||
| `add_via` | Add vias with instant UI update |
|
||||
| `add_text` / `add_board_text` | Add text with instant UI update |
|
||||
| `set_board_size` | Set board size with instant outline update |
|
||||
| `get_board_info` | Read live board data |
|
||||
| `place_component` | Place components with instant UI update |
|
||||
| `move_component` | Move components with instant UI update |
|
||||
| `delete_component` | Delete components with instant UI update |
|
||||
| `get_component_list` | Read live component list |
|
||||
| `save_project` | Save via IPC |
|
||||
|
||||
### New Files
|
||||
|
||||
- `python/kicad_api/ipc_backend.py` - Complete IPC backend implementation (~870 lines)
|
||||
- `python/test_ipc_backend.py` - Test script for IPC functionality
|
||||
- `docs/IPC_BACKEND_STATUS.md` - Implementation status documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Modified Files
|
||||
|
||||
- `python/kicad_interface.py` - Added IPC integration and automatic command routing
|
||||
- `python/kicad_api/base.py` - Added routing and transaction methods to base class
|
||||
- `python/kicad_api/factory.py` - Fixed kipy module detection
|
||||
- `docs/ROADMAP.md` - Updated Week 3 status to complete
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- Added `kicad-python>=0.5.0` - Official KiCAD IPC API Python library
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
To use real-time mode:
|
||||
1. KiCAD 9.0+ must be running
|
||||
2. Enable IPC API: `Preferences > Plugins > Enable IPC API Server`
|
||||
3. Have a board open in PCB editor
|
||||
|
||||
### Deprecation Notice
|
||||
|
||||
The **SWIG backend is now deprecated**:
|
||||
- Will continue to work as fallback
|
||||
- No new features will be added to SWIG path
|
||||
- Will be removed when KiCAD 10.0 drops SWIG support
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Run the IPC test script:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./venv/bin/python python/test_ipc_backend.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or test individual commands:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo '{"command": "get_backend_info", "params": {}}' | \
|
||||
PYTHONPATH=python ./venv/bin/python python/kicad_interface.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Breaking Changes
|
||||
|
||||
None. All existing commands continue to work. IPC is used transparently when available.

|
||||
**KiCAD Version:** 9.0.6
|
||||
**kicad-python Version:** 0.5.0
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The IPC backend is now **fully integrated** as the **default backend** for all MCP tools. When KiCAD is running with IPC enabled, all commands automatically use real-time UI synchronization. Changes made through the MCP tools appear **instantly** in the KiCAD UI without requiring manual reload.
|
||||
|
||||
**SWIG backend is deprecated** and will be removed in a future version when KiCAD removes it (KiCAD 10.0).
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | SWIG (Old) | IPC (New) |
|
||||
|---------|------------|-----------|
|
||||
| UI Updates | Manual reload required | **Instant** |
|
||||
| Undo/Redo | Not supported | **Transaction support** |
|
||||
| API Stability | Deprecated, will break | **Stable, versioned** |
|
||||
| Connection | File-based | **Live socket connection** |
|
||||
| Future Support | Removed in KiCAD 10.0 | **Official & maintained** |
|
||||
|
||||

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. **KiCAD 9.0+** must be running
|
||||
2. **IPC API must be enabled**: `Preferences > Plugins > Enable IPC API Server`
|
||||
3. A board must be open in the PCB editor
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install kicad-python
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kicad_api import create_backend
|
||||
|
||||
# Auto-detect and connect
|
||||
backend = create_backend() # Will try IPC first, fall back to SWIG
|
||||
backend.connect()
|
||||
|
||||
# Get board API
|
||||
board = backend.get_board()
|
||||
|
||||
# Operations appear instantly in KiCAD UI!
|
||||
board.add_track(
|
||||
start_x=100.0, start_y=100.0,
|
||||
end_x=120.0, end_y=100.0,
|
||||
width=0.25, layer="F.Cu"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# With transaction support for undo
|
||||
board.begin_transaction("Add components")
|
||||
board.place_component("R1", "Resistor_SMD:R_0603", 50, 50)
|
||||
board.place_component("C1", "Capacitor_SMD:C_0603", 60, 50)
|
||||
board.commit_transaction("Added R1 and C1") # Single undo step
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Force Backend Selection
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Force IPC backend
|
||||
backend = create_backend('ipc')
|
||||
|
||||
# Force SWIG backend (deprecated)
|
||||
backend = create_backend('swig')
|
||||
|
||||
# Or via environment variable
|
||||
# export KICAD_BACKEND=ipc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Run the test script to verify IPC functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Make sure KiCAD is running with IPC enabled and a board open
|
||||
./venv/bin/python python/test_ipc_backend.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The test script will:
|
||||
1. Connect to KiCAD
|
||||
2. List components on the board
|
||||
3. Add a test track (visible instantly in UI)
|
||||
4. Add a test via (visible instantly in UI)
|
||||
5. Add test text (visible instantly in UI)
|
||||
6. Read the current selection

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **KiCAD must be running**: Unlike SWIG, IPC requires KiCAD to be open
|
||||
2. **Project creation**: Must be done through KiCAD UI or file system
|
||||
3. **Footprint library access**: Limited - best to use library management separately
|
||||
4. **Layer management**: Layers are predefined in KiCAD
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Connection failed"
|
||||
- Ensure KiCAD is running
|
||||
- Enable IPC API: `Preferences > Plugins > Enable IPC API Server`
|
||||
- Check if a board is open
|
||||
|
||||
### "kicad-python not found"
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install kicad-python
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Version mismatch"
|
||||
- Update kicad-python: `pip install --upgrade kicad-python`
|
||||
- Ensure KiCAD 9.0+ is installed
|
||||
|
||||
### "No board open"
|
||||
- Open a board in KiCAD's PCB editor before connecting
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
python/kicad_api/
|
||||
├── __init__.py # Package exports
|
||||
├── base.py # Abstract base classes

|
||||
|
||||
python/
|
||||
└── test_ipc_backend.py # IPC test script
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Footprint library integration via IPC** - Load footprints directly
|
||||
2. **Schematic IPC support** - When available in kicad-python
|
||||
3. **Event subscriptions** - React to changes made in KiCAD UI
|
||||
4. **Multi-board support** - Handle multiple open boards
