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
Install ngspice (Linux only), Python 3.8+ and the uv tool. Create a virtual environment with uv venv .venv and activate it. Install dependencies via uv pip install -e .. Start the server with uv run analog-circuit-simulate-mcp-server or via uvx. Add an NPX configuration entry pointing to http://${server_ip}:4044/mcp/. Server ports and JSON response can be configured via the environment variables FASTMCP_PORT (default 4044) and FASTMCP_JSON_RESPONSE.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analog circuit simulation
Features
- Provides MCP tools for running analog circuit simulations
- REST API interface for simulation control
- Supports parameterized circuit simulations
- Returns simulation results in JSON format
Installation Guide (Linux only)
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-${version}-py3-none-any.whl
# or uv build && pip install dist/analog_circuit_simulate_mcp_server-${version}.tar.gz
- Traditional pip installation:
pip install -e .
Usage
Starting the Server
Different ways to run the server: - Using uv run: uv run analog-circuit-simulate-mcp-server
uvx --from https://github.com/abelzhao/analog_circuit_simulate_mcp_server.git analog-circuit-simulate-mcp-server

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