A Rhino 8 plugin connects geometry and Grasshopper workflows to an external MCP server. For Claude Code, 1 route is explicitly documented by the integration maintainer.
A Rhino 8 plugin connects geometry and Grasshopper workflows to an external MCP server.
Platforms: Windows, macOS
The maintainer documents Claude Code setup for this connection.
Rhino 8 on Windows or macOS, Python 3.10+, uv and the companion Rhino plugin.
The plugin runs inside Rhino; Grasshopper tools also depend on the active Grasshopper document and components.
A Rhino server combines standalone .3dm file operations with an optional Rhino 8 live bridge.
Platforms: Windows, macOS
MCP transport compatibility is inferred; this agent is not explicitly documented for this connection.
Python 3.11+; live control additionally requires Rhino 8 and the companion C# plugin.
Standalone file mode does not require Rhino and does not control its GUI; live mode has separate plugin setup.
Rhino’s native Python scripting interface supports custom modelling automation.
Platforms: Windows, macOS
The native interface is documented, but no setup for this coding agent is established by this source.
Rhino with its documented Python scripting environment; use a script or plugin to expose operations externally.
This native scripting route needs a custom agent-facing bridge; no named coding-agent setup is established here.
| Integration | Claude Code compatibility | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| RhinoMCP | Documented setup Setup guide | Rhino 8 on Windows or macOS, Python 3.10+, uv and the companion Rhino plugin. |
| Rhino MCP · files & live bridge | MCP compatibility (inferred) Setup guide | Python 3.11+; live control additionally requires Rhino 8 and the companion C# plugin. |
| Rhino Python scripting | Not documented | Rhino with its documented Python scripting environment; use a script or plugin to expose operations externally. |
The sources establish the capabilities listed above, not complete application coverage. Check each bridge’s limitations and your application version before starting.
Choose a route that explicitly documents Claude Code and matches your environment. Start with the maintainer’s setup guide and a disposable project copy. Shared MCP support alone is listed as an inference.
