Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ltspice-mcp — Design

This document covers the server's scope, architecture and design principles.

Install and client setup are in [README.md](../README.md) and
[USAGE.md](USAGE.md). Tool arguments and replies are specified in
[docs/design/mcp_surface.md](design/mcp_surface.md), the Python API in
[docs/design/python_api.md](design/python_api.md), and the netlist parser in
[docs/spice_lex.md](spice_lex.md). Current bugs and limitations are in the
GitHub issue tracker.

## Scope

The server targets **structured, validated, geometry-aware,
LTspice-specific** operations:

- **Structured**: tool outputs declare schemas; results are typed, not free
  text.
- **Validated**: tools that change a file refuse invalid states before
  writing it.
- **Geometry-aware**: `.asc` schematic operations work in symbol
  coordinates, not just netlist tokens.
- **LTspice-specific**: the server handles `.asc`/`.asy`/`.raw` behavior and
  Windows interop directly. ngspice is fully supported for simulation, result
  parsing, diagnostics and analysis; it has no schematic format, so the
  geometry tools do not apply to it. QSPICE and Xyce are best-effort through
  spicelib's common interface.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cognitohazard/ltspice-mcp/docs/DESIGN.md@sha256:3f03b95f0f6705bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.018f695, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
