revit-mcp

English | 简体中文

Description

[!NOTE] This is a fork of the original revit-mcp project with additional tools and functionality improvements. These changes have not been through the mseep.ai auditing process.

revit-mcp allows you to interact with Revit using the MCP protocol through MCP-supported clients (such as Claude, Cline, etc.).

This project is the server side (providing Tools to AI), and you need to use revit-mcp-plugin (driving Revit) in conjunction.

Features

• Allow AI to get data from the Revit project
• Allow AI to drive Revit to create, modify, and delete elements
• Send AI-generated code to Revit to execute (may not be successful, successful rate is higher in some simple scenarios with clear requirements)

Requirements

• nodejs 18+

Complete installation environment still needs to consider the needs of revit-mcp-plugin, please refer to revit-mcp-plugin

Installation

Claude Code

claude mcp add revit-mcp -- npx -y @sparx-fire/revit-mcp

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config -> claude_desktop_config.json

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "revit-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@sparx-fire/revit-mcp"]
        }
    }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. When you see the hammer icon, it means the connection to the MCP service is normal.
