Revit

You use the MCP server to bridge AI assistants with Autodesk Revit, enabling automated model interactions, element management, and creation tasks directly from your AI workflows. This server exposes a set of Revit-focused commands that let you discover available actions, run commands, query data, and create or modify elements within your Revit projects.

How to use

You connect an MCP client to the Revit MCP Server to start automating your architectural and engineering workflows. Start by ensuring the MCP server is running through the standard startup command, then configure your AI assistant to communicate over the designated stdio channel. Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant to execute Revit commands, retrieve view data, locate and highlight elements, and perform creation or update operations across levels, grids, walls, doors, windows, floors, rooms, sheets, and MEP elements. The server supports a broad set of actions that can be triggered from your assistant to streamline design reviews, documentation, and model coordination.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are listed here so you can set up the environment correctly.

Install the UV package manager.

pip install uv

Install the Rev it MCP package.

pip install revit-mcp

Test the installation to verify that the server can connect to Revit on startup.

uvx revit-mcp

You should see: `RevitMCPServer - INFO - Successfully connected to Revit on startup
