Keep getting 'Method 'XXX' not found' errors despite MCP server and Revit plugin working #24
Description
Hi,
I´ve tried apparently everything but Claude keeps giving me "Method not found" errors, even though the mcp server shows as connected and running and the Revit plugin is also installed correctly (Revit 2020)
I tried first compiling revit-mcp-plugin from Visual studio (I've got a lot of experience with Revit API plugins in C# and Visual Studio), since it provided an .sln solution file. I did npm install and run build for the revit-mcp repo and apparently everything worked fine.
However, for simple questions such as 'list all pipes in the revit model' in a model with a couple pipes, Claude keeps giving me following answers (in that order):
- "I'll help you find all the pipes in your Revit model. Let me query the model for pipe elements - Get element information failed: Method 'ai_element_filter' not found"
- "Let me try a different approach to get the pipes from your current view - get current view elements failed: Method 'get_current_view_elements' not found"
- "Let me try using the alternative method for getting elements from the current view - Code execution failed: Method 'send_code_to_revit' not found"
- "I apologize for the technical difficulties. It seems the Revit connection methods are not available at the moment. Let me try using the correct function to query pipe elements - get available family types failed: Method 'get_available_family_types' not found"
I tried with some other categories like walls but same outcome. I also tried installing the revit-mcp-plugin executable instead of compiling from Visual Studio but nothing changed. Then I went and tried everything again in another laptop with Revit 2024 this time - same errors.
I don't know what else to try. I've attached here mcp.log and mcp-server-revit-mcp.log in case someone can give me a hand. Thanks,
