mcp-vcd
MCP server for VCD waveform analysis. mcp-vcd is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server maintained by SeanMcLoughlin. It connects to MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other agents that speak the protocol. It exposes 1 tool, including get-signal, that an agent can call directly. It is categorized under Tool/Server and AI/Integration.
What is this MCP
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed specifically for working with Value Change Dump (VCD) waveform files. It helps manage large waveform data that wouldn't otherwise fit in a model's context window.
How to use this MCP
Install usinguv pip install --system mcp-vcd and configure in your claude_desktop_config.json. The main tool get-signal allows you to extract specific signal changes from VCD files, with optional timestamp filtering.
What this MCP can be used for
This MCP is particularly useful for hardware engineers and developers working with digital waveforms, enabling selective analysis of signal changes without overwhelming the model's context window with entire VCD files.
