Vectorworks MCP Codex Plugin

Lean Codex plugin for the latest vectorworks-mcp runtime. The plugin packages skills, a stable control helper, and companion launch scripts; the MCP engine, listener, tests, and native SDK source remain in the companion repository so they cannot drift into a stale embedded copy.

This plugin is strictly Windows 11-only and requires Vectorworks 2024 or 2025 on the same desktop. macOS, Linux, WSL, containers, Wine, and cross-machine bridge layouts are unsupported.

Install

/plugin marketplace add BhaveshY/vectorworks-mcp-codex-plugin
/plugin install vectorworks@vectorworks-mcp-codex-plugin

Run vectorworksctl agent-install --json once to resolve or clone the companion to %USERPROFILE%\repos\vectorworks-mcp, prepare its cached .venv, and return the exact loader and next steps. Daily MCP startup only resolves an existing checkout and validates its companion contract; it never clones the repository or runs the full setup flow. Missing or stale checkouts therefore fail fast with a repair command instead of delaying MCP connection. The companion runner still checks its requirements stamp and repairs a missing or outdated virtual environment; running agent-install first keeps that work off the normal path.

Recommended explicit override:

$env:VW_MCP_REPO = "C:\path\to\vectorworks-mcp"

Use vectorworksctl agent-install --json for initial setup and vectorworksctl doctor --json for troubleshooting. For daily work, Codex should begin with vw_agent_context(profile="production"), which combines preflight, capabilities, and compact drawing context in one MCP call.

Safety model

  • Native phase 2 is the preferred non-modal production path.

  • The Python dialog listener is a usable CAD-safe fallback while its dialog remains open.

  • Background/timer listeners are transport-only and must not execute CAD calls.

  • Destructive, probing, and trusted-code tools require their explicit live confirmation arguments.

Supported application target: Vectorworks 2024/2025 on native Windows 11 only.

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
