revit-mcp allows you to interact with Revit using the MCP protocol through MCP-supported clients (such as Claude, Cline, etc.).
This project is the server side (providing Tools to AI), and you need to use revit-mcp-plugin (driving Revit) in conjunction.
- Allow AI to get data from the Revit project
- Allow AI to drive Revit to create, modify, and delete elements
- Send AI-generated code to Revit to execute (may not be successful, successful rate is higher in some simple scenarios with clear requirements)
- nodejs 18+
Complete installation environment still needs to consider the needs of revit-mcp-plugin, please refer to revit-mcp-plugin
Install dependencies
npm installBuild
npm run buildClaude client
Claude client -> Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"revit-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["<path to the built file>\\build\\index.js"]
}
}
}Restart the Claude client. When you see the hammer icon, it means the connection to the MCP service is normal.
