Ready for AI – whenever you are
Turn PCB requirements into concrete next steps without leaving your AI workflow. Connect your compatible AI assistants directly to Leiton’s PCB calculator, allowing them to explore current manufacturing options, validate specifications and retrieve PCB prices in real time - just by using natural language or based on specification documents you provide.
We currently support the following tools:
What you can do:
For example, you can ask:
The assistant can use the Leiton tools automatically and ask follow-up questions if additional specifications are required.
Claude Desktop App
Leiton is currently not yet listed in Claude’s Connectors Directory. However, you can add the Leiton MCP Server as a custom connector directly in the Claude app. No programming or additional software is required.
1. Click your profile menu in the bottom left and open "Settings".
2. Search for "Customize" section and click the "Connectors" icon in the left navigation bar.
3. Click the "Add" Button in the top right corner and then "Add custom connector"
4. Enter the Leiton connector details
Enter the following information:
| Connector name | Leiton PCB Price Calculator |
| Connector URL | https://mcp.leiton.de/mcp |
5. In the following Dialog, keep "No sign-in" set as the Authentication method and Click "Add".
6. Confirm by clicking "Connect", if you see the following message:
"You’re not connected to Leiton PCB Price Calculator yet."
7. Verify MCP tools and configure approval handling
Please verify that you can see the following tools provided by the Leiton PCB calculator:
- Calculate PCB price
- Inspect calculator capabilities
- Start calculator session
Tip: For the best experience, we recommend switching approval rules to "Always allow" in the top-right dropdown menu. Otherwise you will have to manually approve the tool usage everytime your AI agent wants to access the Leiton MCP server.
8. Ask Claude about your PCB
Describe the PCB you need in your own words. Claude can check the available configuration options, ask for missing information and request a non-binding price from Leiton.
Example: "I need 25 rigid PCBs for my project "Sensor Prototype”. They should measure 100 × 80 mm, have four layers and an ENIG surface finish. Please calculate a price with Leiton."
If your specifications require an individual quotation, Claude can also provide a link that takes you to the appropriate Leiton inquiry.
Note: When Claude uses the tools provided by the Leiton MCP server for the first time, it might ask you to approve the tool access. You can respond with "Allow always" to prevent those messages from reappearing.
Using Claude for a company? With Team and Enterprise plans, a company owner may need to add the custom connector first. It will then become available to the other members of the organization.
More information is available in the official Claude connector guide.

5. Ask ChatGPT about your PCB
Describe the PCB you need in your own words. ChatGPT can check the available configuration options, ask for missing information and request a price from Leiton. Example:
"I need 25 rigid PCBs. They should measure 100 × 80 mm, have four layers and an ENIG surface finish. Please calculate a price with Leiton."
ChatGPT will show you the price for your PCB and provide a link to the pre-filled online calculator. If your specifications require an individual quotation, ChatGPT will also provide a link that takes you to the appropriate, prefilled Leiton inquiry.
