How to Set Up and Use Revit MCP

Revit MCP enables AI assistants to interact directly with Autodesk Revit through the Model Context Protocol, exposing 25+ tools that cover data retrieval, element creation, modification, analysis, and even direct C# code execution within the Revit context. Architects and BIM engineers use it to automate repetitive modeling tasks, query project data with natural language, and generate rooms, grids, levels, structural framing, and materials — all from a connected AI client. It works via the revit-mcp-plugin installed inside Revit paired with a Node.js MCP server.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher installed
  • Autodesk Revit installed (the plugin supports recent versions)
  • The revit-mcp-plugin installed inside Revit (available from the repository)
  • npm available to build the MCP server
  • Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible AI client
1

Clone the revit-mcp repository

Clone the repository and navigate into it. The MCP server is a TypeScript/Node.js project that must be built before use.

git clone https://github.com/mcp-servers-for-revit/revit-mcp.git
cd revit-mcp
2

Install dependencies and build the project

Install all npm dependencies and compile the TypeScript source to the build directory. The compiled index.js is what Claude Desktop will run.

npm install
npm run build
3

Install the Revit plugin

Follow the instructions in the repository to install the revit-mcp-plugin inside Autodesk Revit. The plugin opens a local socket that the MCP server communicates with. Open Revit and confirm the plugin is loaded.

4

Configure Claude Desktop to use the MCP server

Open Claude Desktop settings, navigate to Developer > Edit Config, and add the revit-mcp server configuration. Replace the path with the actual absolute path to the built index.js file on your system.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "revit-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\YourName\\revit-mcp\\build\\index.js"]
    }
  }
}
5

Restart Claude Desktop and verify the connection

Fully restart Claude Desktop. A hammer icon in the interface indicates a successful connection to the Revit MCP server. Open a Revit project before sending modeling commands.

Revit MCP Examples

Client configuration

Configure Claude Desktop with the locally built revit-mcp Node.js server to enable Revit automation.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "revit-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\revit-mcp\\build\\index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

With a Revit project open and the MCP server connected, try these prompts in Claude Desktop.

- "List all the rooms in the current Revit project with their areas"
- "Create a grid at X=0 and another at X=10 meters, then add levels at 0m, 3m, and 6m"
- "What structural framing elements are used on level 2?"
- "Color all walls on the ground floor red"
- "Export room data including names and areas to a local file"

Troubleshooting Revit MCP

Hammer icon is not showing in Claude Desktop — MCP server not connecting

Verify the path to build/index.js in the config is correct and absolute. Run `node C:\path\to\revit-mcp\build\index.js` directly in a terminal to check for startup errors. Ensure Revit is open with the plugin active before launching Claude Desktop.

Commands succeed in Claude but no changes appear in Revit

The revit-mcp-plugin must be active and a Revit project must be open. Check that the plugin is loaded in Revit's Add-Ins tab. Some operations require an active view or a specific document context.

npm run build fails with TypeScript errors

Ensure you are using Node.js 18 or higher (`node --version`). Delete node_modules and package-lock.json then run `npm install` again. If TypeScript version conflicts exist, run `npm install typescript@latest --save-dev` before rebuilding.
