Summarize this content to 100 words: In the last year, we’ve tried and reviewed several ways to use AI inside Revit.
Combining pyRevit MCP + Claude Code seems to be the most powerful setup.
It also happens to be free, beyond having a Claude subscription. However, this one isn’t quite “plug and play”. There are a few steps you must follow to get the setup going.
Special thanks to Alex Ritivoi and Jean-Marc Couffin for the help.
Why pyRevit + MCP + Claude Code is so powerful
There are three key features of pyRevit + MCP that make it so powerful with Claude Code.
1- pyRevit MCP has a MCP tool to generate and run Python code on the spot.
2- pyRevit can easily let you create extensions.
3- Claude Code is extremely good at generating code and self-correcting.
Combine these three powers together, and you get an insanely helpful combo. For almost any Revit task you can think of, ask Claude Code to solve it. It will generate Python code. If it finds a bug or the code doesn’t work, it will self-correct.
