SOFiSTiK MCP servers and AI agent skills

How AI connects to SOFiSTiK

An MCP server or skill can only do what SOFiSTiK lets programs do. SOFiSTiK exposes 2 automation interfaces:

• CADINP input language (.dat) (Input files): SOFiSTiK analyses are driven by CADINP, a text input language organised by program module: AQUA for materials and sections, SOFIMSHC for geometry and meshing, SOFILOAD for loads, ASE for analysis, MAXIMA for superposition and design modules such as AQB and BEMESS. Variables, loops and conditions make input parametric. Because a whole model is a text file, an agent can write it without driving the program at all. Documentation
• CDB interfaces (Python, C#, C++, VBA, Fortran) (Python): Results and model data live in the CDB database, which SOFiSTiK opens to Python, C#, C++, Fortran, VB.NET and Excel VBA through its DLLs. The Python examples load the CDB DLL with ctypes, and DLL names and paths differ between releases. The Rhino Interface adds a managed SOFiSTiK.Analysis.Database assembly for C# in Rhino and Grasshopper. Documentation

What SOFiSTiK offers

SOFiSTiK has not announced an MCP server or AI assistant. Its 2026 release adds a Beam Design Assistant and a rebar tagging assistant for Revit, but the release material does not describe them as AI. The listed skills come from an individual and say nothing of an affiliation with SOFiSTiK.

What you can do with SOFiSTiK and AI

• Write a CADINP model from a description, covering AQUA sections, SOFIMSHC geometry, SOFILOAD loads and an ASE analysis, ready to run in SOFiSTiK.
• Review an existing .dat file for syntax, parameter and module-order mistakes.
• Superpose load cases with MAXIMA and set up RC design of beams, columns and slabs.
• Build a Revit Dynamo graph that reads support reactions or member forces from a SOFiSTiK result database.
• Write Grasshopper C# that pulls displacements, beam forces or tendon geometry from a .cdb file into Rhino.

Installing

The listings here document setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop and claude.ai. Install steps, copied from each project's own documentation, are on each listing's page. Most SOFiSTiK integrations run on your own computer next to SOFiSTiK, so you need SOFiSTiK installed and licensed on the same machine unless the listing says otherwise.
