Connect Claude to Revit

1. 1.Revit 2024 to 2027 on Windows. Revit LT will not work.
2. 2.The Claude desktop app, from claude.com/download.

1. 1.On the pyRevit download page, download the first pyRevit Installer. Skip the one marked Admin / All Users.
2. 2.Run it. Make sure Core Tools and Extended Extensions are ticked.
3. 3.Open Revit. When it asks, press Always Load.

Open Windows PowerShell from the Start menu, paste this line and press Enter.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

To check, open a new PowerShell window, type uv --version and press Enter. You should see a number.

In Revit, open the pyRevit tab and click the small pyRevit button at the bottom left.

1. 1.Click Extensions and type mcp in the search box. Click the row that appears, then press Install Extension or Enable until it says Enabled.
2. 2.Click Settings, open Routes, and tick Routes Server and pyrevit-core.
3. 3.Press Save Settings and Reload, then close and reopen Revit. An orange band under Routes means it is on.

Open the Claude desktop app and paste this.

Connect yourself to Revit for me. I am on Windows, with pyRevit, uv
and the MCP extension already installed. Find where they are on
this computer, add the Revit connector to my Claude settings file,
and tell me when to restart Claude.

1. 1.Restart Claude when it tells you to.
2. 2.Click + under the message box, then Connectors. Revit Connector should be there, switched on.

Then ask Claude this, with your model open in Revit.

Can you control my Revit model?

If the answer names your own model back, the connection is live. If it does not, the checks below find what is not running.

The skills are what put Claude to work: the views, the checks, the sheets. They come with Revit × Claude, 44 of them, three free to try, and the Install page you get with them has the zip and the one line to send Claude.

Not ready to buy? The free workflow gets your schedules into Excel with one prompt, so you can try it on your own model first.

Updating to a new version? Send the new zip with the same line from the Install page, then press Replace on the card Claude gives you.

1. 1.In Revit, open pyRevit → Settings → Routes. You should see an orange band.

3. 3.Open a new PowerShell window, type uv --version and press Enter. You should see a number.
4. 4.In Claude, click + → Connectors. Revit Connector should be there, switched on.
5. 5.Quit Claude completely and open it again.
