Provides tools for interacting with SketchUp, enabling AI agents to inspect model entities, generate architectural massing volumes from footprint polygons, configure shadow and solar settings, and capture viewport images as base64 JPEGs.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@sketchup-mcp Set solar shadows for June 21 at 3pm and capture the viewport."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants (Google Antigravity, Claude Desktop, Cursor) directly with Trimble SketchUp for rapid architectural 3D conceptual massing, spatial planning, and solar shadow analysis.
Built for architecture students (B.Arch), urban designers, and conceptual modelers, enabling AI agents to programmatically query models, extrude massing floor plates, calculate shadow angles, and capture viewport renderings.
Native Embedded Ruby Extension: Runs directly inside SketchUp's embedded Ruby runtime with zero external dependencies.
Live Fleet Registration: Automatically registers its dynamic port and PID with %LOCALAPPDATA%\AutodeskMCP\registry.json, enabling single-entry routing through autodesk-mcp.
Architectural Massing Tool Suite:
Model Inspection: Entities count, layers/tags, component definitions, and shadow settings.
3D Massing Extrusion: Generate building footprints from coordinate polygons and push/pull into massing volumes.
Solar & Shadow Studies: Set date, solar time of day, and toggle shadows for daylight analysis.
Viewport Capture: Export shaded viewport images as base64 JPEG.

Run the automated installer:
.\install.ps1This deploys sketchup_mcp.rb and sketchup_mcp/ to:
%APPDATA%\SketchUp\SketchUp <Year>\SketchUp\Plugins\
The bridge server starts automatically in a background Ruby thread whenever Trimble SketchUp is opened.
When running, the autodesk-mcp Gateway auto-detects SketchUp and routes sketchup_* tools seamlessly.
