  "description": "Browser-based CAD tool for planning perfboard layouts, routing wires, and exporting build guides with exact cut lengths and bend points. Includes a remote MCP server so AI agents can read and design boards.",
  "features": [
    "Interactive perfboard layout editor",
    "Manhattan and 45-degree wire routing",
    "Exact wire cut lengths and cumulative bend point distances",
    "Pin header placement and labeling",
    "Solder-side build guide output",
    "PDF, CSV, and clipboard export",
    "Design rule checking",
    "Remote MCP server for AI agents (https://perfboard.app/mcp)",
    "AI agents can read boards, place parts, define nets, and route wires through the editor's engine",
    "Board layout as firmware context: nets and pin assignments an agent can turn into pin definitions"
  ],
  "useCases": [
    "Planning perfboard and protoboard wiring before soldering",
    "Generating repeatable cut sheets for one-off electronics builds",
    "Creating build guides for hobby electronics, synth modules, robotics, and test fixtures",
    "Designing a perfboard layout with an AI agent such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor",
    "Giving a firmware-writing AI agent the real pin assignments of a hand-built board",
    "Co-designing a board and its firmware so pin choices keep the wiring short"
  ],
  "pricing": "Free to design. Cut-sheet export needs a one-time Pro purchase; AI agent (MCP) access needs Pro plus a monthly MCP subscription.",
