About
Enables AI assistants to analyze hardware simulation VCD waveforms and GTKWave save files, providing access to signal values, bus definitions, and groupings without loading entire files.
README
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for analyzing VCD waveforms and GTKWave save files (.gtkw).
Give your AI assistant direct access to hardware simulation results — signal values, bus definitions, display formats, and signal groupings — without dumping entire files into the context window.
