Revit MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Autodesk Revit 2025+ to AI assistants like Claude. Query elements, create views, manage sheets, and modify parameters — all through natural language.
How It Works
The system has two halves that communicate over a named pipe:

Revit API calls
(main thread only)
RevitMcp.Server is a standalone console app that speaks MCP over stdio. Claude Desktop launches it automatically.
RevitMcp.Addin loads inside Revit, runs a named-pipe listener on a background thread, and marshals all Revit API calls to the main thread via ExternalEvent.
RevitMcp.Core contains the shared contracts, command names, and handler implementations used by both sides.
