Why it matters

One install, no extra runtimes

Start MCP is designed to work with BIMO installation and updater — no manual Node/Python setup, no terminal workflows.

A real Revit endpoint

Clients get access to common Revit operations (read + limited safe write) without requiring users to hunt for third-party Revit MCP servers.

Your commands become reusable building blocks

Everything you already have in BIMO becomes callable from automation:

• the same tool can run from UI, hotkeys, or automation pipelines

• presets & variants ensure repeatable results

• generated commands turn scripts into maintainable “products”

What you can access through BIMO MCP

Revit Core Tools (built-in)

Planned built-in capabilities include:

• active document info and open documents list

• current selection (read/set)

• element queries (by category + parameter filters)

• read element parameters

• safe parameter writing (validated + transactional)

• views list and view activation

The exact tool list may evolve, but the goal is clear: BIMO MCP should be useful even before you integrate anything custom.

BIMO Command Platform

With MCP running, clients can discover and run:

• BIMO Library commands available on your toolbar

• custom commands generated from:

  • Dynamo graphs (.dyn)

  • Python scripts

  • C# static classes

• presets & variants — run the same command in multiple “modes”

Examples (use cases)

1) Deterministic automation with presets/variants

Run the same command with different presets, reliably:

• “Export IFC (Client A profile)”

• “Export IFC (Client B profile)”

• “QA Check — Strict / Normal / Fast”

2) Turn scripts into managed commands

Your Dynamo/Python tools become discoverable, documented commands:

• predictable execution

• consistent settings model

• easier reuse across projects and team members

3) AI assistants that can actually execute actions

Instead of just “suggesting steps”, an assistant can call a specific command or preset through MCP — in a controlled, auditable way.

4) Integration-friendly workflows

Connect Revit workflows with company services:

• issue trackers

• CDE processes

• internal databases and rule sets

How it works (concept)

1. You click Start MCP in BIMO Toolbar

2. BIMO starts a local MCP server (localhost) and shows status + connection details

3. An external client connects and can:

   • use Revit core tools

   • list and execute BIMO commands with presets/variants

Security and reliability

BIMO MCP is designed with a secure-by-default approach:

• localhost binding by default (127.0.0.1)

• authentication token for tool calls

• clear separation of read tools vs write tools

• transactional write operations (validated)

For teams, we plan governance features (allowlists, scopes, audit) based on demand.

MVP scope (planned)

MVP includes:

• Start/Stop/Status

• logs + connection test

• Revit core tools (read + limited safe write)

• list BIMO commands (library + generated)

• execute BIMO commands with preset/variant

• jobs model (status + cancel) for long operations

Next (if demand is confirmed):

• multiple MCP profiles

• workspace governance (allowlist/scopes)

• audit and analytics

• generator tools (rescan/regenerate sources) via MCP

FAQ

Do I need pyRevit?

No. The plan is a .NET-first implementation with no pyRevit dependency.

Do I need Node.js or Python installed?

The goal is to avoid manual runtime installation for the default path. (Advanced scenarios may appear later, but “one install” is the default promise.)

Will it work offline?

The server is local. Your integrations may depend on your internal systems.

Is this feature available now?
