Rhino MCP (McNeel)
McNeel's official Rhino MCP server: AI agents create and edit in Rhino
Runs as a server Claude Code connects to. It needs its own configuration, and some servers need an API key.
Install just this one
Run in your terminal — needs Node
npx archtmpl@latest --mcp rhino-mcp-mcneelFirst time? The whole install, step by step
- Open Claude Code — the terminal version or the desktop app, either one.
- In a terminal, paste the line above and press Enter. In the app, paste it into the chat and ask Claude to run it.
- Restart Claude Code. That's the whole install.
The same JSON shown on this page works in the Claude desktop app without Claude Code. Add it to the app's config file, then restart the app:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
