Introduction

It's been eight months since my last blog post, and I'm excited to share an update on my journey. I'm still based in Singapore, and while my daily routine hasn't changed much, I've gained new experiences and insights worth sharing.

Recently, I embarked on a weekend project, a personal challenge to dive into new technologies and approaches. This led to the creation of RevitMCPGraphQL.

What Challenge Was I Trying to Solve?

While exploring the Revit-MCP project, I noticed limitations in exchanging data between Revit and external applications. My goal was to build a solution that streamlines this process using GraphQL.

Here’s what I aimed to achieve:

• Enhance the efficiency of data exchange between Revit and other applications.
• Provide a more flexible and robust API for developers.
• Enable real-time collaboration and data sharing among project stakeholders.
• Leverage the power of MCP and GraphQL, especially for querying and manipulating Revit data, to improve overall workflows.

How Does GraphQL Work with Revit?

• With GraphQL mutations, I can update parameters in Revit directly.
• Using GraphQL queries, I can retrieve data from Revit efficiently.

This project is still a work in progress, but I'm excited about the possibilities it opens up for integrating Revit with modern data exchange technologies.
