analog-circuit-simulate-mcp-server
About
the mcp server to run circuit simulation with ngspice
Explore
- Provides MCP tools for running analog circuit simulations
- REST API interface for simulation control
- Supports parameterized circuit simulations
- Returns simulation results in JSON format
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
analog-circuit-simulate-mcp-serverCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
1. Install ngspice (required for simulation backend):
sudo apt-get install ngspice # For Debian/Ubuntu systems
2. Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed (see .python-version file) and install uv tool:
pip install uv
3. Create and activate virtual environment:
uv venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS
4. Install dependencies using different methods:
- Direct installation with uv:
uv pip install -e .
- Build with uv then install:
uv build && pip install dist/analog_circuit_simulate_mcp_server-${version}-py3-none-any.whl
- Traditional pip installation:
pip install -e .

Server configuration can be modified in .venv:
- FASTMCP_PORT=4044
- FASTMCP_JSON_RESPONSE=True
