Verified

local-only server

The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.

Integrations

  • Provides real-time access to Revit model information, element querying and filtering, view and level management, and model metadata access through a WebSocket connection with the Revit plugin.

🏗️ Revit MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for Revit integration, enabling seamless communication between Claude AI and Autodesk Revit.

English | 中文

🎯 Overview

This TypeScript-based MCP server provides a bridge between Claude AI and Revit, allowing direct interaction with Revit models through a WebSocket connection. It implements the Model Context Protocol to enable:

  • ⚡ Real-time access to Revit model information
  • 🔍 Element querying and filtering
  • 👀 View and level management
  • 🛡️ Robust error handling with fallback mock data

✨ Features

🔌 Revit Integration

  • 📡 WebSocket-based communication with Revit plugin
  • 🔄 Real-time model data access
  • 🔁 Graceful fallback to mock data when connection fails
  • ⚙️ Configurable connection settings via environment variables

🚀 Core Functionalities

  • 📊 Model Information
    • Access basic model metadata (name, path, version)
    • Get element counts and last modification date
    • Real-time model state synchronization
  • 🏗️ Element Management
    • Query elements with flexible filtering
    • Access element properties and geometry
    • Batch element operations
  • 🎪 View & Level Control
    • List all available views
    • Access level information
    • Navigate through model hierarchy

💻 Development

📋 Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v14 or higher)
  • npm
  • Autodesk Revit (2023 or later)
  • Revit WebSocket Plugin (companion plugin)

🔧 Installation

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

⚙️ Configuration

The server can be configured using environment variables:

REVIT_HOST=127.0.0.1 # Revit plugin WebSocket host REVIT_PORT=8080 # Revit plugin WebSocket port

🔗 Integration with Claude Desktop

Add the server configuration to Claude Desktop:

Windows:

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Configuration format:

{ "mcpServers": { "revit-mcp-server": { "command": "D:/path/to/revit-mcp-server/build/index.js" } } }

🐛 Debugging

For debugging the MCP communication:

  1. Use the built-in MCP Inspector:
npm run inspector
  1. Monitor WebSocket communication with Revit plugin
  2. Check server logs for connection and operation status

⚠️ Error Handling

The server implements robust error handling:

  • Automatic fallback to mock data when Revit connection fails
  • Detailed error logging
  • Graceful connection recovery
