Public catalogues list 510 Vivado tools and 24 Quartus tools; the active SynthPilot licence decides which ones a session registers.
You pick one platform when the server starts, so only that tool's catalogue loads.
Can run on a remote Linux host and reach Vivado there over OpenSSH stdio (beta).
Ships the oh-my-fpga workflows as built-in MCP prompts from version 1.3.0.

Proprietary; the GitHub repository holds documentation and catalogues only, and a SynthPilot licence (including the Free tier) must be activated.
Quartus coverage is much smaller than Vivado coverage and only tested by the author on Windows Lite 25.1.
The remote mode doesn't start Vivado or sync project files for you.
