Overview

RhinoMCP connects Rhino 3D with AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI to create geometric models, read documents, and build Grasshopper definitions based on natural language instructions. Ideal for designers and engineers requiring complex modeling within Rhino 3D. After installing the plugin, users can control Rhino 3D and Grasshopper via chat. Supports Rhino 8 on Windows and macOS.

Capabilities

▪Create geometry (points, lines, circles, etc.)
▪Transform and edit objects (move, rotate, scale, etc.)
▪Advanced modeling (lofting, extrusion, Boolean operations, etc.)
▪Curve operations (projection, intersection, splitting, etc.)
▪Layer and attribute management
▪Viewport capture and analysis

Use cases

Geometric modeling in architectural designSketching in product designData visualization in engineering analysisTeaching assistance in education

Setup

Requires: API KeyNode 环境

Open the Package Manager in Rhino, search for `rhinomcp`, and install it. After restarting Rhino, use your AI assistant to install the local MCP server.
