How to Set Up and Use RevitMCPBridge
RevitMCPBridge2026 is a C# Revit add-in that exposes over 705 Autodesk Revit API endpoints through the Model Context Protocol, enabling AI agents to directly create and modify BIM models in Revit 2026. It communicates over named pipes for a zero-crash, stable connection between the MCP server and the running Revit process. Architects, BIM managers, and AEC developers can use it to automate wall placement, door and window insertion, sheet generation, view management, and full construction document production through natural language.
Prerequisites
- Autodesk Revit 2026 installed on Windows
- Visual Studio 2022 or MSBuild for compiling the C# add-in
- .NET Framework 4.8 (included with Revit 2026)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop configured on the same Windows machine
- Git or PowerShell for running the automated installer
Clone the repository
Download the RevitMCPBridge2026 source code to your Windows machine.
git clone https://github.com/WeberG619/RevitMCPBridge2026.git
cd RevitMCPBridge2026Run the automated installer
Execute the PowerShell installer script which compiles the project and deploys the DLL and addin manifest to the Revit 2026 addins directory.
.\scripts\deploy\Install-RevitMCPBridge.ps1Alternatively, build and deploy manually
If the automated script is not suitable, compile with MSBuild and copy the output files manually to the Revit addins folder.
msbuild RevitMCPBridge2026.csproj /p:Configuration=Release
copy bin\Release\RevitMCPBridge2026.dll "%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2026\"
copy RevitMCPBridge2026.addin "%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2026\"
copy appsettings.json "%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2026\"Launch Revit 2026 and open a project
Start Revit 2026. The add-in loads automatically and begins listening on the named pipe. Confirm it is active by checking the Add-Ins ribbon tab.
Configure your MCP client
Add the MCP bridge to your Claude Desktop configuration. The bridge acts as a named pipe client that routes tool calls from the MCP client to Revit.

Add-in does not appear in Revit after installation
Verify the DLL and .addin files are in %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2026\. Also check that Revit's security settings allow loading unsigned add-ins (Settings > Options > Add-Ins).
Named pipe connection refused or timeout
Ensure Revit is running with a project open before connecting the MCP client. Increase Pipe.TimeoutMs in appsettings.json if you have a slow machine.
MSBuild fails to find Revit API assemblies
Confirm Revit 2026 is installed and that the project references point to the correct path, typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2026\.
