AI Connector for Revit

The AI Connector for Revit connects AI Desktop Apps (like Claude, Cursor or Copilot) with Revit. Rather than generating new Revit code, the AI uses a set of +50 predefined tools to inspect, select, edit and document elements in Revit models.


Features

  • Predefined Tools

    • Inspect and edit parameters, family sizes, sheets and views, names and more
    • Examples:
      • Get the value of a parameter
      • Determine the file size of a family
      • List views placed on a sheet
  • Feedback-Driven Interaction
    The AI invokes your tools and adapts to Revit’s responses, reducing errors from hand-crafted code.

  • Read, Edit and Document in Revit
    Model reading, inspection, and element selection.
    Edit parameters, elements and properties.
    Add views to sheets, create sheets or sections.

  • Integration with Nonicatab
    The “AI Connector” button appears in the Nonicatab toolbar after installation, and selecting the ready-to-use toolbar or tool.


Prerequisites

  • Autodesk Revit from 2022 to 2027
  • NonicaTab Revit plugin.
  • Claude Desktop App or Cursor for automatic setup Also compatible with Copilot in VSCode and any other MCP compatible desktop app.

Installation

  1. Get the installer from Autodesk App Store.

  2. Claude.
    Install Claude Desktop App (read the Terms and Conditions, remember you are granting access to AI models to your Revit model). It is free and enough for a few tests, but you may need Claude pro for frequent use and conversation length.

  3. Run Revit.
    Start Revit (from 2022 to 2027), and select a toolbar that includes the AI Connector for Revit.

  4. Run the AI Connector for Revit.
    Go to Nonicatab toolbar in Revit and run the AI Connector. If Claude was opened, remember to restart Claude (close from corner next to Windows clock) after opening the AI Connector the first time.

  5. Start asking.
    While the AI Connector for Revit is open and active, Claude will be able to access your Revit model using a set of tools.


Tools Overview

A selection of the available micro-tools is listed below. Use Search and Tools in Claude to see full list.

ToolDescription
get_parameters_from_elementid(list_elementId, name)Returns all parameters for the specified element id.
get_size_in_MB_of_families(familyName)Returns the family file sizes in megabytes.
get_viewports_placed_on_sheets(sheetNumber)Lists all views placed on a list of sheets.

Use Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once Revit MCP Nonicatab is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.

Setup guide to use the local connector

Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.

1

Open the MCP settings

In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Click the Settings icon.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings.
  4. Open the Model Context Protocol section.
  5. Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.

Run the connector command

Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.

  1. Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
  2. Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
  3. Paste and run the command.
  4. Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
  5. Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.

Add Revit MCP Nonicatab as a server

When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.

  1. Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
  2. Click Edit Servers.
  3. Paste the Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP server configuration.
  4. Save the server list.
  5. Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.

Use it across models

Save the server list, open Plugins, enable the Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP tools, then select any supported AI model in TypingMind and use the tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.

  1. Open the Plugins page in TypingMind.
  2. Enable the Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP tools.
  3. Start a chat and choose the AI model you want to use.
  4. Use the MCP tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.
  5. Switch to another AI model whenever needed without reconnecting MCP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP server used for?

Revit MCP Nonicatab is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.

Can I use Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?

Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use Revit MCP Nonicatab with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.

Why use Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP with TypingMind?

TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With Revit MCP Nonicatab connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.

How do I connect Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP to TypingMind?

Revit MCP Nonicatab runs through the TypingMind local MCP connector. This is best when the MCP server needs access to local files, desktop apps, command-line tools, or private resources on your computer.

What tools does Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP provide in TypingMind?

Revit MCP Nonicatab exposes MCP capabilities that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.

Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use Revit MCP Nonicatab MCP?

No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If Revit MCP Nonicatab requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
