Revit 2026 MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Autodesk Revit 2026, enabling AI assistants like Claude to interact with Revit projects through a standardized interface.
Overview
This MCP server provides a bridge between AI assistants and Autodesk Revit 2026, allowing natural language queries and commands to interact with BIM models, extract data, modify parameters, and automate workflows.
Features
- Project Information Access: Query project metadata, statistics, and settings
- Element Management: Retrieve, filter, and query elements by category, type, or parameters
- Parameter Control: Read and write element parameters (both instance and type)
- View Management: Create views, switch active views, create schedules
- Geometry Creation: Create walls, grids, lines, curves, splines, and points
- Curve Operations: Evaluate, transform, intersect, clone, reverse, offset curves
- Reference Planes: Create and query reference planes for dimensioning
- Graphic Overrides: Set halftone, colors, transparency, visibility per element/category
- Export Capabilities: Export to IFC, DWG, and other formats
- Advanced Filtering: Query elements using complex filter criteria
- Schedule Management: Create schedules, get table data, modify filters and grouping
- Element Transformation: Move, copy, mirror, rotate, create arrays
- Shape Creation: Create geometric shapes (rectangles, circles, polygons) as detail lines, model lines, or symbolic curves
- Family Operations: Add/remove shared parameters in families and projects
- Selection Tools: Get/set selection, pick objects, points, faces, edges interactively
- Task Dialogs: Display customizable popup dialogs with buttons and command links
- Ribbon UI: Create custom ribbon tabs, panels, buttons, combo boxes, and text boxes
- Mass Family Tools: Create reference points, curves, loft forms in conceptual mass families
- Revolve Forms: Create revolve geometry with axis and profile curves
- Cap Forms: Create cap forms from points or lines using NewFormByCap
- Extrusion Forms: Create extrusion forms with direction vector, box rows from curves
- Plane Creation: Create sketch planes using World XYZ coordinates
- Model Curves: Draw lines, arcs, sine waves, spirals, helixes using mathematical formulas
- Divided Surfaces: Create divided surfaces on forms with UV grid divisions
- Linear Dimensions: Create dimensions between walls, grids, reference planes, and elements
- Radial Dimensions: Create radius and diameter dimensions on arcs and circles
- Family Instances: Place family instances at points, on hosts, faces, and references
- Family Modeling: Create extrusions, blends, revolutions, sweeps, swept blends, loft forms, model text, openings, and symbolic curves in family documents
- MEP Connectors: Create duct, pipe, electrical, cable tray, and conduit connectors on family geometry faces
- Family Manager: Manage family types, parameters, formulas, associate/dissociate element parameters, query all FamilyParameter properties
- Application Documents: Create new family documents and project documents from templates with automatic template path resolution
