Common questions

Is AEC Model Bridge safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: MCP_REVIT_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 5 days ago, and the latest version (1.4.0) reached the registry 33 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

AEC Model Bridge

Python MCP server for reviewing BIM model quality and fixing Revit parameters with Claude, Codex and other MCP clients. Read-only tools inspect the model; model changes require an approved plan by default.

Get started | Example workflows | Tool reference

Live Revit automation requires Windows, Revit 2024–2027 and the native Revit add-in. The server also includes IFC inspection, Rhino and Grasshopper, and Speckle providers. Navisworks integration is in progress. See the installation guide.

Run the server

Requires Python 3.11 or newer. To explore the tools in mock mode from a repository checkout:

python -m pip install -e packages/mcp-server-revit

$env:MCP_REVIT_MODE = "mock" $env:MCP_REVIT_WORKSPACE_DIR = (Get-Location).Path $env:MCP_REVIT_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES = $env:MCP_REVIT_WORKSPACE_DIR python -m revit_mcp_server.mcp_server

MCP clients start the server over stdio. The console command is aec-model-bridge; revit-mcp-server remains available as a compatibility alias. For development without Revit, set MCP_REVIT_MODE=mock to return canned responses. The release .mcpb bundle uses the MCPB uv runtime and prompts for a permitted workspace directory.

Configuration

Environment variable	Purpose
`MCP_REVIT_MODE`	`bridge` for a live application or `mock` for development
`MCP_REVIT_WORKSPACE_DIR`	Workspace root for server file operations
`MCP_REVIT_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES`	Semicolon-separated permitted directories
`MCP_REVIT_HOST_VERSION`	Optional Revit year selector, such as `2026`
`MCP_REVIT_BRIDGE_URL`	Optional explicit bridge endpoint
`MCP_REVIT_AUDIT_LOG`	Audit log location
`MCP_REVIT_LOG_LEVEL`	Logging verbosity

See the configuration reference and release notes.
