Hill Revit MCP Server — connects AI assistants to Autodesk Revit with Hill design knowledge
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Hill MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Hill Revit MCP Server — connects AI assistants to Autodesk Revit with Hill design knowledge.
Production-quality Autodesk Revit add-in + MCP server that lets AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor) interact with Revit and learn from Hill's project history.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at hill-revit-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
review_design — Collects comprehensive model data for comparison against Hill standardscheck_standards — Targeted compliance check: room_sizes, door_specs, window_specs, wall_types, materialsDiagnostic — The Diagnostic tool exposed by this serverDiscovery — The Discovery tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: REVIT_TCP_HOST. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Hill's toolset — review_design, check_standards, Diagnostic and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by harazan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Hill's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
