How to Set Up and Use For Revit Python
The MCP Server for Revit Python bridges AI assistants with Autodesk Revit by running an HTTP middleware inside Revit via pyRevit Routes. It exposes tools for reading model metadata, listing levels and views, placing families, coloring elements, and executing arbitrary IronPython code directly inside the Revit environment. BIM professionals and AEC developers can use natural language to interrogate and modify live Revit models without switching context to the Revit UI or writing standalone scripts.
Prerequisites
- Autodesk Revit installed (any version supported by pyRevit)
- pyRevit installed and the Routes extension enabled inside Revit
- Python 3.10+ with uv or pip, and the mcp[cli] package
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- The mcp-server-for-revit-python repository cloned locally
Clone the repository
Clone the mcp-server-for-revit-python repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/mcp-servers-for-revit/mcp-server-for-revit-python.git
cd mcp-server-for-revit-pythonStart Revit and enable pyRevit Routes
Launch Revit and ensure pyRevit Routes is active. The Routes API will listen on http://localhost:48884/. Verify with a browser or curl.
curl http://localhost:48884/revit_mcp/status/Install the MCP Python dependencies
Install the mcp CLI package required to run the server.
pip install "mcp[cli]"
# or with uv:
uv pip install "mcp[cli]"Register the MCP server
Use the mcp CLI to install the server so it is available to Claude Desktop.
mcp install main.pyAdd manual config entry (alternative)
If you prefer manual configuration, add the following block to claude_desktop_config.json using the absolute path to main.py.
Restart Claude Desktop and verify
Restart your MCP client. Ask the AI to check Revit status — it should return active and healthy if pyRevit Routes is running.

These prompts exercise the available Revit tools once the server is connected and Revit is open.
- "What is the status of the Revit connection?"
- "Give me information about the currently open Revit model"
- "List all levels in the current Revit model"
- "List all available Revit views"
- "Show me the families loaded in this model"
- "Export the floor plan view as an image"
- "Color all walls on level 1 red using color_splash"Troubleshooting For Revit Python
Connection refused on http://localhost:48884/
pyRevit Routes must be running inside Revit. Open Revit, ensure pyRevit is loaded, and confirm the Routes extension is active. Check the pyRevit log inside Revit for errors.
mcp install main.py fails with module not found errors
Ensure you are running the command from inside the cloned repository directory and that 'mcp[cli]' is installed in the same Python environment you are using.
execute_revit_code returns errors for IronPython scripts
IronPython inside pyRevit has different library availability than CPython. Avoid using packages not bundled with pyRevit and test scripts in the pyRevit editor first.
