AutoCAD API Skillsby Autodesk Developer Network (ADN-DevTech)
Autodesk Developer Network skills that teach a coding agent to write AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Plant 3D .NET 10 plug-ins.
Tresca tracks 9 tools in this field. 9 have at least one listed MCP server or agent skill.
Drafting and BIM tools have the most AI integrations of any area on Tresca, and the most variety in how they work. Autodesk now ships an in-app MCP server with AutoCAD and Civil 3D 2027 (used by Autodesk Assistant), a Revit server in technical preview, and a hosted server that answers questions from Autodesk's help documentation. McNeel's RhinoAI and the Blender project's own server cover Rhino and Blender.
Community servers for AutoCAD and Revit work in very different ways: some drive a running copy through COM, AutoLISP or the .NET API, others read and write DWG, DXF or IFC files without the program. That difference decides whether you need a licence on the machine where the AI runs, and whether a server can damage a live drawing, so check it on each listing before you install anything.

An Autodesk Platform Services skill that ports AutoLISP routines to AutoCAD .NET C# plug-ins for headless Design Automation.
Autodesk's in-app server that lets Autodesk Assistant query and select objects in your open AutoCAD or Civil 3D drawing; edits are mostly Civil 3D-only.
Autodesk's hosted, read-only server that searches Autodesk Help documentation for 110+ products; it answers questions but never opens a drawing or model.
Blender's own small MCP server and add-on: runs Python in a live or background Blender and summarises .blend files.
Autodesk's sample HTTP server that runs Revit jobs on cloud models through the Automation API, with no desktop Revit.
Autodesk's own local MCP add-on for Revit 2027.2, in Read, Write and Experimental editions, still a technical preview.
McNeel's Rhino plugin that turns a running Rhino and Grasshopper into an MCP server, with a Claude Desktop connector.
Yes. Autodesk ships an in-app MCP server with AutoCAD and Civil 3D 2027, but Autodesk documents only its own Assistant as a client. Community servers are the route for Claude, Cursor and other external clients.
Some servers write DXF headlessly or read DWG through open libraries without AutoCAD installed. Writing DWG itself usually needs AutoCAD or a converter; each listing says which.
Autodesk has a Revit MCP server in technical preview for Revit 2027, and there are many community Revit servers built on the Revit API, mostly as add-ins that run inside Revit on Windows.
