  }
}

Extending Functionality

You can create custom MCP DLL files to implement additional functionality by:

Implementing the xml.Revit.MCP.Public.IMCPMethod interface
Following JSON-RPC 2.0 specification for communication
Compiling to a DLL and placing it in the designated MCP folder

Plugin Configuration

When using the revit-mcp-plugin:

Register the plugin with Revit
Configure commands through: Add-in Modules → Revit MCP Plugin → Settings
Enable the service: Add-in → Revit MCP Plugin → Revit MCP Switch

Once enabled, AI assistants can discover and control your Revit program, executing the various commands provided by the xml.Revit.MCP tools library.
