Claude Code designed a board through the MCP server

How it works

From one sentence to a product you can build, check and test.

Describe it

Plain language is the whole interface

Say what it should do, where it lives and how it's powered. Indue picks real catalog parts and plans the power budget.

What comes back

A real product, not a render

A 185 × 185 × 258 mm printable body shaped around the board, a 120 mm fan and a replaceable filter.

Look inside

X-ray it, then take it apart

The body turns to glass so you can see the real electronics, then every piece comes apart. On a computer, click any part to see what it is, what it's made of and how it goes in.

Routed board

A board made for this product

92 × 78 mm, two layers, 19/19 connections routed. Gerbers go straight to JLCPCB.

Firmware

Firmware written for this board

Generated with the board, not after it: drivers for every part, pins from the netlist, and the behaviour you described. It compiles, and 4 tests check it.

main.cpppins.h✓ compiles
#include "pins.h"void setup() {  // PM2.5 sensor on UART  Serial2.begin(9600, SERIAL_8N1,    PIN_S1_TXD, PIN_S1_RXD);  oled.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC,             0x3C);  pinMode(PIN_K1_IN, OUTPUT);  Serial.println("READY");} void loop() {  if (readPms()) fanFollows(pm25);  showAirQuality(pm25);}

Parts you can order

7 catalog parts, $59.95

Every part is a real module with pins, outline and mounting holes on file, and links to buy it. The electrical check runs 33 rules before anything is built.

Build guide

Put it together, one step at a time

Every step shows what goes in next, where it sits and what to check before moving on. The same guide the Studio gives you for your own build.

Step 1 of 15 · Board

Check your board

Your board arrives from the factory with its sockets soldered on. Compare it with the picture before you start.

Before you continueLook for bent pins, missing parts or solder bridges. Don't plug anything into USB yet.

Factory files

Files a factory accepts

Gerbers and drill files for the routed board, a KiCad project, and print-ready STL and 3MF for every printed part.

Digital twin

Catch logic bugs before you order parts

In the Studio, your real firmware is compiled and run against a simulated room: sensor readings in, fan speed and screen out, checked against the tests. It proves the code does what you asked. It can't prove a solder joint, so you still test on the bench. Below is a preview of the purifier's twin.

For developers, the whole engine is yours. A CLI and an MCP server, so your own agent can build hardware too.

28 MCP tools
Your own agent designs, checks and simulates through the same pipeline.
100+ catalog parts
Real pins and outlines. The AI picks parts; it never invents pins.
33 electrical rules
Checked on every change, before anything is built.
