What is SketchUp AI Bridge?

SketchUp AI Bridge is a SketchUp plugin that connects AI clients (like Claude) with SketchUp, enabling AI-assisted 3D modeling through a standardized protocol called Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Which AI clients are compatible with SketchUp AI Bridge?

The bridge is designed to work with any AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Detailed configuration examples are provided specifically for integrating with Claude Desktop.

How do I install and configure SketchUp AI Bridge?

Installation involves copying plugin files to your SketchUp Plugins directory. You then configure your AI client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to use the provided Python bridge script to establish communication with SketchUp. Python 3 is required.

Connects AI clients like Claude with SketchUp to enable AI-assisted 3D modeling through a standardized protocol.

The SU MCP Server acts as a crucial bridge, integrating AI clients such as Claude directly with SketchUp for sophisticated AI-assisted 3D modeling. It implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI to programmatically interact with SketchUp—creating, transforming, and querying model entities. This robust server plugin, developed purely in Ruby, runs a non-blocking TCP server within SketchUp and utilizes a cross-platform Python script to facilitate seamless communication between AI clients and the SketchUp environment.
