What it can do

Runs vivado -mode tcl as a child process and reads each result from a JSON file flagged by a sentinel line, so console noise doesn't corrupt answers.
Starts with eight core tools and loads further toolsets (constraints, IP, block design, debug, hardware) only when the agent asks, to keep the tool list short.
Runs synthesis, implementation and bitstream as background jobs whose status survives a server restart.
Supports non-project flows (read_verilog, synth_design, place_design, route_design) as well as project mode.

Limitations

The repository has no licence file.
Building from source needs Go 1.22 or later; otherwise download a binary from the releases page.
