What Is This
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI assistants to connect directly to external tools and data sources. This project implements an MCP server for Autodesk Revit — making it possible to query, modify, and automate a BIM model through natural language.
Practically: instead of navigating menus or writing Dynamo scripts, you describe what you need. The server translates the request into Revit API calls and executes them directly in the open model.
Why This Matters for Architecture
BIM tools are powerful but slow to operate. The gap between what an architect wants to do and the sequence of operations required to do it in Revit creates friction that compounds across a project. Connecting an AI layer to the Revit API has the potential to collapse that gap — making the BIM model responsive to design intent in a way that current interfaces do not.
Current State
This project is in active development. Current capabilities and progress are documented in the GitHub repository.
The work is exploratory — part tool development, part learning process. The goal is not a finished product but a working prototype that demonstrates the architecture of AI-assisted BIM workflows.
