Rhino MCP

Claude controls Rhino 3D

Runs as a server Claude Code connects to. It needs its own configuration, and some servers need an API key.

Install just this one

Paste into the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app

Set up the Rhino MCP for me in this desktop app. The setup steps are at https://archaiflow.com/f/mcps/rhino-mcp.json, and the project's own page is https://github.com/jingcheng-chen/rhinomcp. If the two disagree, follow the project's page.

It needs uv (docs.astral.sh/uv). If it is missing, install it from its official site. If this app then cannot find it, put its full path in the settings.

Some steps happen inside Rhino 8. Walk me through them one at a time:
1. Open Tools > Package Manager, search for rhinomcp, click Install, then restart Rhino.
2. Type mcpstart in the Rhino command line. Do this each time Rhino opens.

Check what is already on this computer, add the server to this app's MCP settings, then tell me what is left to do and when to restart the app.

Paste it into a new chat in the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app and send it. It adds the server and tells you what is left to do.
