What it can do
- Adds model health checks, clash detection, batch edits and PDF, DWG, IFC and CSV export to the original revit-mcp tool set.
- Resolves categories through BuiltInCategory, so it works with Revit in languages other than English.
- Includes a dockable chat panel inside Revit that calls the Anthropic API directly with your own API key.
- A PowerShell script detects your Revit versions, downloads the matching release and can configure Claude Desktop.
Limitations
- The add-in listens on localhost port 8080 and won't start if that port is taken.
- Works on the active document only, and AI edits aren't grouped into one undo step.
- Parameter names must match the Revit UI language.
- The README's npm package name is the same one the mcp-servers-for-revit monorepo publishes.
