RhinoMCP
Model geometry and build Grasshopper definitions in Rhino 3D by chatting with Claude or Cursor.
Sources and review
Checked against public documentation on . Suitability guidance is our editorial judgment; this is not a performance benchmark or an endorsement.
Designers and architects who want to prototype geometry and Grasshopper logic by prompt.
You can't install the Rhino plugin; the server works through its bridge.
About RhinoMCP
RhinoMCP connects Rhino and Grasshopper to AI agents over MCP. The assistant can model geometry, read the document, capture the viewport, and script Grasshopper by finding, wiring and solving components; for more control it can run native Rhino commands, RhinoScript-Python or RhinoCommon C#. A single Rhino plugin and config entry cover both.
RhinoMCP is listed in this index written primarily in Python, with 1.2k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in October 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
Add RhinoMCP to your MCP client
