pyRevit: What’s New for Revit Scripters and BIM Managers

If you rely on pyRevit for daily workflow automation, toolbar management, and rapid prototyping in Autodesk Revit, the latest updates rolling out from the pyRevit Labs team bring some massive game-changers.

Key Highlights & New Features

• Interactive Python Shell: A full IronPython console now lives directly inside pyRevit. You can test, poke, and inspect live Revit models interactively without needing to close or compile scripts. It runs in multiple flexible modes—Modal, Modeless, or as a Dockable Pane right inside the Revit UI.
• Agent Runtime (MCP Support): pyRevit can now integrate with Model Context Protocol (MCP) capable coding assistants (such as Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code). This allows agents to interact with a live Revit model by sending Python code streams directly rather than juggling rigid, separate API calls.
• Blazing Fast Startup & Reload Speeds: Significant under-the-hood performance optimizations have been made to session loading, configuration seeding, engine cache eviction, and sys.path deduplication to get your toolbar up and running faster than ever.
• Enhanced Revit Compatibility & C# Loader Parity: Continued fine-tuning for newer Revit environments, output window stability, and better localization support across packages.
