## Best for
Designers and architects who want to prototype geometry and Grasshopper logic by prompt.

## Avoid if
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.

## Connect to an MCP client
Launch command from the project's README: `uvx rhinomcp@latest`

### Claude Code (Run in your terminal)

```shell
claude mcp add rhinomcp -- uvx rhinomcp@latest
```

### Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rhinomcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["rhinomcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "rhinomcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["rhinomcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rhinomcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["rhinomcp@latest"]
    }
