ADMIN & AUTOMATION

MCP Server.

MCP server status across eight AI platforms: config on the machine is detected and connected automatically, letting AI agents read and drive Revit over a standard protocol.

01 · THE PROBLEM

Every AI platform — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI — wants its own JSON config file, with the exact path, the exact key, the exact syntax. Nothing tells you whether the MCP server is actually alive until you ask the AI something and it goes quiet or throws a vague 'tool not found'.

8 file JSON

One hand-edited config file per AI platform

Eight platforms mean eight JSON files in eight different folders, each its own format — one wrong bracket or exe path and the client fails to load the server, with an error that never says why.

No way to tell when a connection dies

The MCP server just sits waiting for a client call; if Revit closes or the add-in errors out, the AI only reports a generic missing tool, leaving the real cause to guesswork.

Starting from scratch on every new machine or platform

There's no step that auto-detects existing config — a new machine, or adding one more AI platform, means hunting down the right config folder, copying JSON, and reopening the app just to see if it worked.

? tool

No way to know how many tools the AI can actually see

There's no single screen showing which platform is connected and how many tools it's exposing out of the total — the gap only surfaces when you ask the AI something and get a wrong answer.

What it does

Autodesk has just shipped an official MCP server into Revit 2027, letting AI read model data — categories, parameters, geometry, project info — through Claude Desktop or Cursor, but it is read-only and tied to that one version. The AUTOM8LABS MCP Connector add-in reaches further: the free tier ships 37 read-only tools, and the Pro tier at £10 per seat per month (or £100 per year) unlocks 200+ tools with one-click auto-configuration — but it stops at three platforms, Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. ZFENIX's MCP Server covers eight AI platforms at once, runs across Revit 2022–2027, and auto-detects the config already on the machine to connect the moment Revit starts:
