LuDattilo/revit-mcp-server — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Windows Revit add in that lets an AI assistant like Claude connect to the open Revit model and actually work with it in real time.

I want the AI to be able to read project info, inspect views and selected elements, find warnings, check model statistics, create and edit common elements, manage parameters, run batch changes, and export useful data like CSV, PDF, DWG, or IFC when Revit supports it. It should work across recent Revit versions starting around 2023, and it shouldn’t break if Revit is installed in a different language.

Please include the Revit plugin, the local MCP server that AI tools can connect to, and the command layer that talks to the Revit API. Add a simple Revit ribbon panel with a start or stop switch, settings, and an optional chat panel using an Anthropic API key. Also include clear install scripts, uninstall steps, docs, and basic tests. Look up current Revit and MCP docs online if you need to.
