Navisworks MCP

io.scanbimlabs/navisworks-mcp

This connects Claude to Autodesk's Navisworks coordination platform through the APS (Autodesk Platform Services) API. You get programmatic access to clash detection reports, model viewpoints, and object data from your coordination workflows. Reach for this when you need to query clash status, extract coordination issues, or pull specific model element properties without opening the desktop application. It's particularly useful for automating reporting workflows or building chat interfaces over your coordination data. The server runs as a Cloudflare Worker and uses streamable HTTP transport.

Install

From registry metadata
$ npx add-mcp https://navisworks-mcp.itmartin24.workers.dev/mcp --name navisworks-mcp

Run in your terminal. add-mcp asks which agents to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and more). Add -g to install it for every project.

Review the command, arguments and environment values before installing. MCP servers run with your local permissions.

Other ways

Claude Code

$ claude mcp add --transport http navisworks-mcp https://navisworks-mcp.itmartin24.workers.dev/mcp

Run in your terminal. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

nwd_uploadUpload a Navisworks file (.nwd/.nwf/.nwc) to Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Object Storage and start an SVF2 translation job so the model becomes queryable by the other nwd_* tools. When to use: at the start of a coordination workflow — e.g. the GC hands off a federated NWD...3 params

Upload a Navisworks file (.nwd/.nwf/.nwc) to Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Object Storage and start an SVF2 translation job so the model becomes queryable by the other nwd_* tools. When to use: at the start of a coordination workflow — e.g. the GC hands off a federated NWD...

Parameters* required
file_name*string
Logical filename for the OSS object. Must end in .nwd, .nwf, or .nwc (case-insensitive) so APS picks the correct translator. Avoid spaces and non-ASCII — the worker sanitizes to [A-Za-z0-9._-]. Fol...
file_url*string
Publicly reachable HTTPS URL from which the worker will GET the Navisworks file bytes. Must return the raw binary (not an HTML landing page). Pre-signed S3 URLs, ACC/BIM360 signed-resource URLs, an...
project_idstring
Optional free-form project label stored alongside the upload record for caller-side correlation. Not sent to APS. Typical values: ACC project GUID, internal job number, or short slug.
nwd_get_clashesDetect geometric/logical clashes between two element sets in an already-translated Navisworks model. Uses APS Model Derivative property extraction + same-level proximity heuristics, optionally augmented by VDC rules stored in D1 (table vdc_rules). When to use: when coordinatin...4 params

Parameters* required
category_astring
First element-set filter, case-insensitive substring match against each element's Revit/Navisworks Category. Common values: "Mechanical", "Ducts", "Pipes", "Plumbing", "Electrical", "Structural Fra...
category_bstring
Second element-set filter, same semantics as category_a. Must be supplied together with category_a to take effect — supplying only one is ignored in favor of auto-split. Provide both to also look u...
clash_typestring
Clash severity class. "hard" = solid-solid interference (e.g. duct through beam) — returns severity:critical. "soft" = clearance/tolerance violations (e.g. MEP within 50mm of structure) — returns s...one of hard · soft · all
model_id*string
Base64url-encoded URN of the translated Navisworks model, exactly as returned by nwd_upload.model_id (or the urn field). Do NOT re-encode. Starts with "dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6" for OSS...

model_id*string
Base64url-encoded URN of the translated Navisworks model as returned by nwd_upload. Same value used by the other nwd_* tools.
