About Revit MCP
Revit MCP is an MCP server published by mcp-servers-for-revit in the Science category: aI-Powered Revit Modeling.
The repository has 474 stars and 148 forks, with the last commit 7 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/mcp-servers-for-revit/revit-mcpThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

[!WARNING] Deprecation notice, this repo is being archived in favour of the mono repo approch for the mcp https://github.com/mcp-servers-for-revit/mcp-servers-for-revit Simpler CI, less confusion for noobs, npm package and simpler install
revit-mcp
English | 简体中文
Description
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.
Features
- 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)
Requirements
- nodejs 18+
Complete installation environment still needs to consider the needs of revit-mcp-plugin, please refer to revit-mcp-plugin
Installation
1. Build local MCP service
Install dependencies
npm install
Build
npm run build
2. Client configuration
Claude 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.
