# Revit Converter MCP
**AI-powered BIM tool** — convert Revit `.rvt` files to XKT, IFC and DWG, query model data, and explore building elements through natural language, right inside Claude.
Built by [Labs Future](https://www.labsfuture.com) · Powered by the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)

## What It Does
The **Revit Converter MCP** is a remote MCP server that connects Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI client) directly to a Revit file conversion and BIM query service. Once configured, you can:
- List and manage models on the server
- Upload your `.rvt` files by a public URL
- Convert Revit models to **XKT format** for web-based 3D viewing
- Export models to **IFC or DWG** for interoperability with other tools
- Query BIM data in natural language — counts, element types, properties
- Inspect individual element metadata (materials, dimensions, thermal values, etc.)
No plugins, no Revit installation needed on the client side.
---
## Available Tools
| Tool | Description |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `list_models` | List all models stored on the server |
| `upload_model` | Upload a `.rvt` file from a URL or path |
| `set_current_model` | Set the active model for subsequent operations |
| `convert_revit_to_xkt` | Convert the current model to XKT for 3D web viewing |
| `get_conversion_status` | Check the progress of an ongoing conversion |
| `export_model` | Export the model to IFC or DWG format |
| `get_export_status` | Check export progress and get the download link |
| `query_model` | Query BIM data (element counts, types, filters) |
| `search_elements` | Search and retrieve properties of specific elements |
> More tools are on the way — including data audit, workflow automation, optimizing design and deeper BIM data analysis, even model updating. Follow [labsfuture.com](https://www.labsfuture.com) for updates.

## Getting Started
### Step 1 — Get an API Key
Sign up at **[labsfuture.com](https://www.labsfuture.com)** and navigate to your account dashboard.
- **Generate Demo Key** — free tier, includes 5 real Revit conversions to try the service
- **Generate API Key** — for production / unlimited use
> Demo keys start with `dk_`. Full API keys start with `sk_`.
---
### Step 2 — Configure Claude Desktop
Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
Add the following entry under `mcpServers`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"revit-converter": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://labsaps-d35810f00db3.herokuapp.com/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer labsfuture.comFreeDemo_MCPKey"
]
}
}
}
```
> Replace the Bearer token with your own key from [labsfuture.com](https://www.labsfuture.com). The key above is a shared demo key — get your own for personal model storage and full conversions.
**Requires Node.js** — `npx` must be available in your PATH. Install from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) if needed.
---
### Step 3 — Restart Claude Desktop
After saving the config, restart Claude Desktop. Open **Settings → Connectors** and you should see **revit-converter** listed with 9 tools available.

## Usage Examples
Once connected, just talk to Claude naturally:
**Upload a model**
```
Could you upload this model to the revit converter server?
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yourfile.rvt?dl=0
```
---
**List models on the server**
```
Lists all models on the server by name
```
---
**Convert to XKT and view in browser**
```
yes, convert rac_basic_sample_project.rvt to xkt
```
Claude returns a direct viewer link — open it to see your model rendered in 3D:
---
**Export to IFC or DWG**
```
export the current model to IFC
```
Claude triggers the export job and checks back automatically — when ready, it returns a direct download link valid for 60 minutes.
---
**Query BIM data**
```
how many walls in this model?
```
---
**Inspect element properties**
```
yes, just show me properties of a random wall
```
