Revit MCP

Revit MCP lets AI clients call Autodesk Revit tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The MCP server forwards tool calls to a local Revit add-in, and the add-in executes the corresponding Revit API workflow.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in C#.

01 · Install Revit MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add shuotao-revit_mcp_study -- npx -y @shuotao/revit-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shuotao-revit_mcp_study": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shuotao/revit-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

03 · What Revit MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

- Keep one MCP/RevitMCP.csproj. - Keep one MCP/RevitMCP.addin. - Do not create version-specific .csproj or .addin files. - Do not create nested MCP/MCP/ directories. - Do not change .addin to an absolute path. - Do not convert Domain files to English-only. - Do not bypass the MCP server with hand-written WebSocket JSON. - For live Revit view, level, selection, or document state, AI must query live state in the curren
