Grasshopper MCP Bridge connects Grasshopper (a visual programming environment for Rhino) with Claude Desktop through a bidirectional communication system. Developed by alfredatnycu, it consists of a Grasshopper plugin component (GH_MCP.gha) that provides a TCP server and a Python bridge server that implements the Model Context Protocol. The system includes a component knowledge base with information about common Grasshopper components, their parameters, and connection rules, enabling Claude to create and manipulate parametric designs through natural language commands. This implementation is particularly valuable for architects, designers, and engineers who want to leverage AI assistance for parametric modeling workflows without leaving their conversation interface.
