Ask for the outcome
Documentation, QA and bulk model changes become requests instead of repetitive clicks. Tell VI MCP what needs to be found, checked or changed — it handles the Revit steps and reports the result.
Why teams use VI MCP on real projects
AI speed. Your approval.
Let VI MCP investigate, prepare and execute the workflow without surrendering control of the model. Critical changes pause until you confirm them.
From one element to the whole model
VI MCP is built for more than isolated chatbot commands. It works across thousands of elements and carries context through complete, multi-step Revit workflows.
-
Revit 2022–2027
One plugin. Six versions, from 2022 to the current release.
-
Nothing to host
The add-in dials out. No inbound ports, no tunnel, nothing for IT to open.
-
30-day free trial
Full functionality from the first connect. No feature locks, no credit card.
Time to replace thousands of scripts with one instrument
Dynamo graphs, pyRevit buttons, one-off macros. One plugin. Any MCP client.
An LLM agent driving Revit naively runs out of context in minutes. VI MCP is built so it does not: finds return a count, not a dump, and every destructive action waits on your yes.
The recipe for a model that talks
- 1
Download
Install the plugin. One file, three Revit versions.
- 2
Connect an AI
Install Claude and the plugin connects to it automatically. ChatGPT or any other MCP client works too.
- 3
Open Revit
The add-in dials out. Nothing to host, nothing to tunnel.
- 4
Ask a question
Tag a plan. Audit rooms. Clash ducts. You confirm writes.
The trial starts automatically the first time the plugin connects — full functionality, no credit card, no feature locks.
Start with a Revit task
Choose a category to see the problem, what VI MCP does and a prompt you can try.
Everyday tasks
Find a set once, then count, change, isolate or export it without starting over.
