Navisworks Automation provides an AI-driven control system that enables advanced AI platforms such as Claude, Gemini, and VS Code Copilot to directly interact with and manipulate Autodesk Navisworks. Leveraging a Model Context Protocol (MCP), this system employs a three-layered architecture: an AI platform for natural language commands, a Node.js-based MCP Server as an intermediary, and a C# plugin within Navisworks to safely execute .NET API operations. It empowers users to automate complex Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, extract data, manage visualizations, and perform detailed model analysis using intuitive AI prompts, significantly enhancing productivity and decision-making within Navisworks environments.
