# Tools and MCP servers

30 tools for applied AI in construction, with status and the date each was checked. Statuses change fast; re-check the links before a long setup.

- **[AI Builder Academy MCP server](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/ai-builder-academy-mcp.md)** — This academy as a remote MCP server: search prompts, skills, routines, lessons and tools, and fetch any item in full.
- **[Revit MCP Server (official)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/revit-mcp-server.md)** — Autodesk's official MCP bridge to Revit, as local stdio servers. Read queries and reports without changing the model; Write adds controlled model changes; Experimental adds experimental tools. Autodesk recommends backing up projects first.

- **[ChatGPT and Codex](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/chatgpt-codex.md)** — ChatGPT adds remote MCP servers in Developer mode; Codex supports MCP (codex mcp add) and Agent Skills in ~/.agents/skills.
- **[Gemini, Google AI Studio and Antigravity](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/google-ai.md)** — AI Studio for fast multimodal prototypes (site video, photos), Antigravity as an agentic IDE for building and testing skills and apps, Gemini for everyday work in Workspace.
- **[Bluebeam Revu MCP server (official)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/bluebeam-revu-mcp.md)** — Local MCP server inside Revu: read pages and text, list and edit markups and their review states, custom columns, bookmarks, stamps and Studio Project search. Works with the desktop apps of Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot CLI and AnythingLLM; only the active PDF is reachable.
- **[Archicad 30 public MCP connection](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/archicad-mcp.md)** — Lets desktop AI tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Desktop, VS Code) manage and edit a running Archicad project over a local stdio MCP server, similar to Archicad's own AI Assistant.
- **[Trimble SketchUp connector for Claude](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/sketchup-claude-connector.md)** — Claude builds SketchUp geometry in a cloud SketchUp session from text, sketches or floor plans, checks dimensions, and returns a preview and a .skp download. A free entitlement covers a limited number of saved models.
- **[Procore REST API](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/procore-api.md)** — Projects, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, observations, punch lists and more over REST. Requests carry a bearer token and the Procore-Company-Id header; develop in the sandbox, then an admin installs the app for the company.
- **[Autodesk Platform Services: Forma (formerly ACC) APIs](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/aps-forma-apis.md)** — Issues, RFIs, submittals, data management, model properties and more for projects in Autodesk Forma (Docs -> Forma Data Management, Build -> Forma Build, BIM Collaborate -> Forma Design Collaboration). Needs an APS app added to the account by an admin.
- **[Bentley MCP servers (STAAD.Pro, MicroStation, ProjectWise, iTwin IoT and more)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/bentley-mcp-servers.md)** — MCP servers for infrastructure tools: STAAD.Pro (structural models and analysis), MicroStation (DGN elements via Python), ProjectWise (document Q&A), iTwin IoT, AssetWise and transmission-line tools; most respect existing permissions and run sandboxed.
- **[Smartsheet MCP server (official)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/smartsheet-mcp.md)** — Connect MCP-compatible AI tools to Smartsheet data: many construction teams keep lookaheads, constraint logs and submittal trackers there.
- **[Rhino / Grasshopper MCP servers (community)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/rhino-mcp.md)** — Community MCP bridges that let Claude and other clients create and inspect Rhino geometry and, in some forks, drive Grasshopper. Useful for facade and parametric studies; quality varies by fork.
- **[EC3 (Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/ec3-building-transparency.md)** — A large database of EPDs and category baselines for comparing materials by embodied carbon; the factors source for the embodied-carbon skill when product EPDs are not yet known.
- **[buildingSMART IDS 1.0 and BCF](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/buildingsmart-ids-bcf.md)** — IDS states information requirements in a machine-checkable XML (which entities need which properties and values); BCF carries issues between BIM tools. ifctester reads IDS and can report to BCF.
- **[ezdxf (Python DXF library)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/ezdxf.md)** — Read and write DXF from Python: layers, lines, polylines, hatches, dimensions, blocks and layouts. The engine behind "drawing as code" in the dxf-sheet-from-code skill; the DXF opens in AutoCAD, CADCraft and most CAD tools.
- **[OpenCode](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/opencode.md)** — An open-source coding agent that works with many model providers. It connects to this academy as a remote MCP server and loads the academy's skills (with their scripts) from ~/.config/opencode/skills, ~/.claude/skills or ~/.agents/skills.
- **[Lean Construction Institute (LCI)](https://aibuilderacademy.netlify.app/tools/lean-construction-institute.md)** — Home of the Last Planner(R) System and a reference for lean project delivery: Target Value Delivery, Choosing By Advantages, pull planning, A3 and the 8 wastes.
