RevitMCP

RevitMCP is a pyRevit extension plus a Python server that lets AI clients work against a live Revit session.

It supports two ways to use it:

Web UI at http://127.0.0.1:8000

Local MCP over stdio for clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex

Repository layout note: this repository root is the pyRevit extension root. If you install from source manually, the checkout directory itself should be named RevitMCP.extension.
