GET STARTED

1. Install AUTOM8LABS MCP Connector for Revit from the Autodesk Design and Make Marketplace.

2. Launch Revit and open a project.

3. Open the Add-Ins tab and locate the AUTOM8LABS panel.

4. Click Enable MCP to configure your supported AI app, such as Claude Desktop, ChatGPT desktop or Cursor.

5. Fully quit and restart your AI app. If it runs in the system tray, right-click its icon and select Quit.

6. Start a conversation and describe what you want to inspect or accomplish in Revit.

Keep Revit running while using the connector.

START WITH YOUR MODEL

The free edition lets your AI agent inspect project information, warnings, elements, parameters, levels, grids and rooms. You can also browse views, sheets, schedules and loaded families, work with selection sets and navigate the model.

Try these prompts:

"What warnings does this model have?"

"List the doors on Level 1 and show their type names."

"What are the room areas on Level 2?"

"List the sheets in this project."

ACTIVATE LICENSED WORKFLOWS

Purchase a licence at https://autom8labs.io/products/mcp-connector-revit/ and activate it inside the connector. The same installation supports the licensed tools.

Your AI agent can then set up projects, create and modify model content, produce views and sheets, add dimensions, build families and update model information.

RUN A WORKFLOW

Describe the task and identify the project, elements, views or sheets to use.

Supply any required templates, titleblocks, naming rules, dimensions, parameter mappings or output locations.

Ask your AI agent to explain its proposed actions and clarify missing information before making changes.

Review the resulting model content, drawings and exported files in Revit before saving or issuing them.

Example prompt:

"Create interior elevations for the selected rooms and arrange each room's views on a sheet. Ask me for the view template, titleblock, scale and sheet naming rules, then explain the proposed setup before creating it."

AI ACCOUNTS AND DATA

The connector communicates locally with Revit and returns tool results to your AI app. Your AI app may send that information to its provider for processing, depending on its configuration. Your AI provider's subscription requirements, usage limits and data policies apply.

INSTALLATION

Close Revit, then download and run the Autodesk Design and Make Marketplace installer.

Supports Revit 2022-2027. To activate licensed workflows, purchase a licence from autom8labs.io and activate it inside the connector.

UNINSTALLATION

In Revit, turn off Enable MCP to remove the AUTOM8LABS_Revit entries from your AI apps.

Close Revit and fully quit your AI apps, then uninstall the connector. For manual removal, delete:

%APPDATA%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\MCPConnector.bundle\

Remove any manually added connector entries from your AI clients. Keep entries belonging to other connectors, then restart your AI apps.

• Fully quit and restart your AI app after setup. For system-tray apps, right-click the icon and select Quit.
• Start Revit before your AI app. If the connection fails, keep Revit open and restart the AI app.
• Worksharing features, including workset queries, require an active workshared project.
• Broad searches may be slower on large models. Filter by category, level or view, or set a result limit where available.
