What is xml.Revit.MCPServer?

This server provides the necessary structure and implementation details for creating MCP (Method Call Provider) DLL files that can be dynamically called from Revit using the CallFunc method. These DLLs extend Revit's functionality by implementing the IMCPMethod interface and adhering to the JSON-RPC 2.0 standard for communication.

How to use xml.Revit.MCPServer?

To use this server, you need to create a C# class that implements the IMCPMethod interface, define the Execute method to perform the desired Revit operation, compile the code into a DLL file, and place the DLL in the designated MCP folder. The CallFunc method can then be used to invoke the functionality defined in the DLL by specifying the method name and parameters.

FAQ from xml.Revit.MCPServer

What is an MCP DLL?

An MCP DLL is a Dynamic Link Library that implements the IMCPMethod interface and provides custom functionality that can be called from Revit using the CallFunc method.

What is the IMCPMethod interface?

The IMCPMethod interface defines the structure that MCP DLLs must follow, including the Execute method that contains the core logic of the functionality.

How do I pass parameters to the MCP DLL?

Parameters are passed to the MCP DLL as a JSON object within the JsonRPCRequest. The Execute method receives this request and can extract the parameters to use in its logic.

How do I return results from the MCP DLL?

The Execute method returns a JsonRPCResponse object, which contains the result of the operation. This result can be any data that can be serialized to JSON.

Where should I place the compiled MCP DLL?

The compiled MCP DLL should be placed in the designated MCP folder, which is typically located within the Revit installation directory.
