What it can do

- Runs Python in an environment that Bentley says blocks internet and file system access outside the active design.

- Early access, released to a restricted set of users; you request access through a form on Bentley's MCP page.
- Bentley warns that some MicroStation key-ins run through MCP may still reach the file system.
- Bentley publishes no install steps, supported versions or operating system details on the page.
