mcp-server-for-revit

MCP server for interacting with Autodesk Revit through AI assistants like Claude.

This package is the MCP server component of mcp-servers-for-revit. It exposes Revit operations as MCP tools that AI clients can call. The server communicates with the Revit plugin over TCP to execute commands inside Revit.

[!NOTE] This server requires the mcp-servers-for-revit Revit plugin to be installed and running inside Revit. See the full project README for setup instructions.
