Rhino integration through the Model Context Protocol

RhinoClaw Server

Python MCP server that connects AI agents to Rhino 3D via the Model Context Protocol.

Overview

This server bridges AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to Rhino through:

• FastMCP: Python MCP implementation
• TCP Socket: Communication with Rhino plugin on localhost:1999

Installation

# Install uv (if not already installed)
# macOS: brew install uv
# Windows: powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
