Design boards from your agent

The Windows app runs an MCP server on your PC. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client works your boards with the bench's own tools.

Download for Windows

Paste the prompt into your agent: it asks for the address and key, then sets itself up.

Three steps

  1. Install

    Download fluxboards for Windows, sign in and open a Local workspace.

  2. Turn it on

    In the account menu, open Assistant access and turn it on.

  3. Connect your agent

    Paste the setup prompt into your agent. It asks for the address and key (Copy address and key in the same menu) and configures itself. In Claude Code, Copy Claude Code command gives the one-line setup instead.

How it works

  1. The app's own tools

    Your agent works through the same tools as the bench's own agent: write the circuit, check it, place, route, look at the board, and run fabrication readiness. Nothing is reimplemented for agents.

  2. On your machine

    The server runs inside the Windows app, at a local address with a key only your install has. Boards stay on your disk; nothing is opened to the internet.

  3. You can watch it

    Every call your agent makes appears in the app as it happens, on the board it is working on.

Questions

Does fluxboards have an MCP server?
Yes. The Windows app runs a Model Context Protocol server on your PC, so an AI agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can design boards with the app's own tools: write the circuit, place parts, route copper, take PCB and schematic snapshots, run fabrication readiness and export. Turn it on under Assistant access in the account menu.
How do I connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor to fluxboards?
Turn on Assistant access in the fluxboards app, then paste the setup prompt from fluxboards.tech/mcp into your agent. It asks you for the local address and key (Copy address and key) and adds the server to its own configuration. Claude Code can also take the one-line command the app copies.
Is the fluxboards MCP server local or in the cloud?
Local. It runs inside the desktop app at a 127.0.0.1 address with a key unique to your install, and stops when you turn Assistant access off. Your boards stay on your disk.
