mcltspice 2026.3.5.1

MCP server for LTspice circuit simulation automation

mcltspice

MCP server for LTspice circuit simulation automation on Linux. Drives LTspice via Wine in batch mode, parses binary .raw results, and exposes 37 tools for end-to-end circuit design workflows.

Quick Start

# Install and run
uvx mcltspice

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add mcltspice -- uvx mcltspice

# Local development
claude mcp add mcltspice -- uv run --directory /path/to/mcltspice mcltspice

Requirements

• Linux with Wine installed
• LTspice extracted from the Windows installer (see Setup)
• Python 3.11+

LTspice Setup

Extract LTspice from the Windows MSI installer:

# Download LTspice64.msi from analog.com
cd /path/to/downloads
7z x LTspice64.msi -oltspice
cd ltspice
7z x disk1.cab

# Set up Wine prefix
export WINEPREFIX=$PWD/.wine
export WINEARCH=win64
wineboot --init

Set LTSPICE_DIR to point at your extracted directory, or use the default ~/claude/ltspice/extracted/ltspice.
