Production-grade practice of the open-source waveform-debugging MCP

Image Analysis

Slide 1 — Observed facts (only readable text and directly visible items recorded)

- Readable text (top to bottom, line-by-line, preserving case and punctuation):

1. AI 读波形不用买

2. License: 腾讯

3. 开源 wave-mcp

4. 波形调试 MCP 的

5. 生产级实践

- Visible UI/layout elements (facts):

- Background is light pink.

- Font color is dark gray/brown; the title line is visually larger than other lines.

- The word “License:” is in English, followed by the Chinese word “腾讯”.

- “wave-mcp” is lowercase with a hyphen; “MCP” is uppercase.

- The words “腾讯” and “波形调试” each have a cyan/light-blue highlight (rectangular background or underline-style highlight) for emphasis.

- There is a large left-quote decorative element at the top-left (light pink, darker/less transparent than the background).

- Near the bottom-right edge there is a very small pink rectangle or short dash decorative element (lighter than the text).

- Text is left-aligned with a consistent left margin.

- No tables, charts, buttons, or identifiable UI step indicators are visible.

Slide 1 — Unclear or indiscernible items

- Unable to determine if there is very small text or an icon above the small pink mark in the bottom-right (too small and close in color to the background).

- Unable to confirm whether the left-quote decoration at the top contains any fine text or graphics (appears to be a decoration).

Slide 1 — Inferences (marked as inference, not fact)

- The layout may be a slide cover or a promotional panel (based on common title/subtitle/decorative layout), but this is speculative.

- The text intent appears to introduce the open-source project “wave-mcp” and its role in “waveform debugging / production practice”, with “License: 腾讯” noted; this interpretation is speculative.

- The cyan highlights likely emphasize “腾讯” and “波形调试” (common design usage), speculative.

Notes

- The image does not contain recognizable interactive steps, UI buttons, or chart data; no timestamp, version number, or author byline was identified (if small text exists, it was marked as indiscernible).

SkillPI Creation Analysis

Purpose and scope:

- The source announces wave-mcp, an open-source MCP Server for waveform debugging from Tencent Penglai Lab's verification team. It is intended to read simulator-produced FST/VCD files plus RTL netlists and expose a set of MCP tools for waveform-based analysis (hierarchy exploration, signal/value queries, driver analysis, tracing, and static checks).

Image evidence summary:

- The promotional slide contains clear textual claims: “AI 读波形不用买”, “License: 腾讯”, “开源 wave-mcp”, indicating an announcement/marketing visual rather than an in-depth usage screenshot. No runnable UI or configuration sample is present in the image.

Verified tools/skills and practical steps (based on the provided summary):

1) Required artifacts: FST or VCD waveform files and the corresponding RTL netlist/source. wave-mcp is described as consuming these outputs rather than running simulators itself.

2) Obtain the software: repository and package locations are provided — GitHub: https://github.com/Tencent/wave-mcp and PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wave-mcp. Use pip install or clone the repository per the project README.

3) Service deployment: run a wave-mcp server process that loads the waveform files and netlist. The summary does not include exact CLI commands or config files; consult the repository for details.

4) Tool usage: after loading data, call the provided MCP tools (27 tools across 8 categories) for hierarchy exploration, signal/value queries, driver analysis, value/X-state tracing, file/declaration queries, and static analyses.

5) Editor/agent integration: the project notes that Code Agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot) can be configured with an mcpServers entry to access the server; configuration examples are not included in the summary.

Reproducibility prerequisites:

- FST/VCD waveform files and matching RTL netlists.

- A Python runtime/environment and permissions to run the wave-mcp server.

- Access to the project repository and its documentation for exact commands, configuration formats, and examples.

Items requiring in-repo verification (claims to check before relying on them):

- License and usage limits: the summary states MIT license and “no machine or concurrency limits”; verify the LICENSE file and any additional project notes in the repository for restrictions or clarifications.

- Test and correctness claims: the summary reports validation results (dozens of modules, 2.25 million signal-level validations, 100% value-query correctness, >350k tool calls across test cases). Verify test artifacts, test scripts, and result logs in the repository or its test suite to substantiate these claims.

- Integration examples: the mention of adding an mcpServers configuration for specific Code Agents requires finding concrete configuration examples in the project docs or issues.

Deliverables you can expect (based on the source):

- An open-source wave-mcp Server package (source on GitHub, PyPI distribution) capable of reading FST/VCD plus netlists and exposing MCP tool interfaces.

- A set of tools for waveform-driven verification tasks (27 tools in 8 categories) as described; usage and API details are in the project documentation.

Closing notes:

- The provided content is a summary; detailed operational commands, sample configs, and test artifacts are not included in the summary. To deploy and validate wave-mcp in your environment, consult the repository at https://github.com/Tencent/wave-mcp and the PyPI page https://pypi.org/project/wave-mcp for README, examples, and test resources. Claims about unlimited concurrency and test pass rates should be confirmed against the repository's LICENSE and test reports before assuming them in production.
