AI-powered FPGA development with Vivado

SynthPilot

AI-powered FPGA development with Vivado. SynthPilot is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI assistants to control Xilinx Vivado for FPGA development.

Installation

pip install synthpilot

Quick Start

1. Activate your license (one-time)

synthpilot activate YOUR-LICENSE-KEY

2. Set up Vivado

Download the installer from xcdev.me and run it to configure your Vivado installation.

3. Configure your MCP client

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vivado": {
      "command": "synthpilot"
    }
  }
}

Or with uvx (requires uv):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vivado": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["synthpilot"]
    }
  }
}

4. Start using

Open Vivado, then start a conversation with your AI assistant:

• "Open project D:/fpga/myproject/myproject.xpr"
• "Run synthesis"
• "Show me the resource utilization"
• "Any timing violations?"
• "Create a 100MHz to 200MHz clock IP"
• "Program the FPGA"

Features

• 381 tools covering the full FPGA development flow
• Project management, synthesis, implementation, timing analysis
• IP configuration (Clocking Wizard, FIFO, Block Memory, and more)
• Block Design with Zynq PS7/MPSoC support
• Simulation, debug (ILA/VIO), and device programming
• Code quality checks and linting

Requirements

• Windows x64
• Vivado 2020.2 or later
• Valid license key (get one at xcdev.me)
