Agents & MCP in Sigasi Visual HDL

Formatting is a good example of how an AI agent can make use of existing Sigasi capabilities through MCP. With Sigasi MCP, the formatting capabilities of Sigasi Visual HDL become instantly available to AI agents.

Instead of manually invoking the formatter through the user interface in VS Code, you can prompt the agent to perform the task and the agent will work with Sigasi. While you can only format a single file through the editor, an agent can invoke Sigasi’s formatter across multiple files or even an entire project.

An LLM based agent is incapable of deciding how code should be formatted. When working together with Sigasi it can decide as it relies on the formatting rules and capabilities already provided by Sigasi Visual HDL, ensuring consistent and predictable results.

This shows you Sigasi’s overall MCP approach: Sigasi provides the deterministic HDL-specific functionality, and the agent makes that functionality easier to access and automate.

In the 2 minutes “Formatting files” screencast, you see how an agent uses Sigasi via MCP to format multiple SystemVerilog & VHDL files in the workspace. If you want to see more of Sigasi MCP, watch our webinar on Agentic AI or get in touch with our support engineers.

Sigasi MCP provides AI agents with access to project-aware HDL context, as well as Sigasi’s language intelligence and analysis capabilities. This enables a more reliable and context-driven form of AI assistance, where agents can work with information about the actual HDL project instead of relying only on the contents of prompts or files. With access to these capabilities, AI agents can improve HDL development workflows. In this Agentic AI webinar, you’ll see examples including iterative code generation, dependency resolution, and access to existing Sigasi functionalities through MCP.
