Horizun Revit MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Horizun Revit MCP is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent connect to Revit on Windows after installing the local server. Its repository has 57 stars and its last commit is from October 22, 2026 and it is licensed under Apache-2.0.
What Horizun Revit MCP does
According to its repository: “Local Windows MCP for Revit 2023-2027. Run the Windows installer before connecting a client.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Horizun Revit MCP is listed under Coding agents, a category of 151 servers in the directory, where it ranks #101 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: autodesk-revit, bim, building-information-modeling, interoperability, power-bi, bim-automation.
Installing and connecting Horizun Revit MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- MCPB bundle (one-click install in Claude Desktop)
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: C#.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Horizun Revit MCP. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on August 2, 2026, the HorizunGroup/horizun-revit-mcp repository has 57 stars and 6 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 54% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 3.0.6 (October 23, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
