An MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write Altium Designer component libraries, including PcbLib footprints and SchLib symbols. It can place primitives and build footprints that follow the IPC-7351B standard, and it can add STEP 3D models. The server handles the binary file format, so the assistant does not write those files directly.
