Build the RevitMCP Revit add-in for one or all Revit versions (2022-2026) using the unified RevitMCP.csproj

  • Works in 5 steps: Locate MCP/RevitMCP.csproj by searching… → cd into the MCP/ directory → Run: dotnet build -c Release.R{YY}… → …
  • SKILL.md covers Version Matrix, Usage, Steps and When Using --all, plus 1 more section
  • Calls dotnet

What it does

Build Revit is an agent skill from shuotao/REVIT_MCP_study. Build the RevitMCP Revit add-in for one or all Revit versions (2022-2026) using the unified RevitMCP.csproj

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with .NET and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: LEARN HOW TO BUILD UP YOUR REVIT MCP.

Example prompts

  • “/build-revit”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate MCP/RevitMCP.csproj by searching from the current directory upward
  2. cd into the MCP/ directory
  3. Run: dotnet build -c Release.R{YY} RevitMCP.csproj where {YY} = last 2 digits (e.g. 2024 → R24, 2022 → R22)
  4. After build, check that MCP/bin/Release.R{YY}/RevitMCP.dll was created or updated (e.g. bin/Release.R24/RevitMCP.dll for Revit 2024)
  5. Report: ✅ success with DLL file size and timestamp, then suggest running /deploy-addon --version {version} as next step

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2faacc5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • dot.net

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Build Revit loads about 535 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~535

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 225 words (~535 tokens).

“Build the RevitMCP Revit add-in using the unified RevitMCP.csproj and Nice3point.Revit.Sdk.”
