Side-by-Side Model Context Protocol Comparison
Horizun Revit MCP vs Tentra MCP
In-depth architectural comparison of the Horizun Revit MCP and Tentra MCP MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Horizun Revit MCP
Architecture & Design · Local stdio
Quality: 49/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Tentra MCP
Architecture & Design · Local stdio
Quality: 55/100 (Good) | Auth: other
Verdict Summary: Choose Horizun Revit MCP if you need specialized Architecture & Design tools running via a local process. Choose Tentra MCP if your workspace requires Architecture & Design integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Horizun Revit MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Architecture & Design domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Open-source MCP server for Autodesk Revit: typed BIM edits, families, exports and Power BI.
AI-native architecture platform for engineering teams. Describe a system in natural language (e.g. "payment service with Stripe, Kafka, PostgreSQL") → get an interactive typed diagram with 167 cloud components → export to 14 production frameworks (Java Spring Boot, Python FastAPI, Go chi, Rust Axum, .NET, Kotlin Ktor, Ruby Rails, Elixir Phoenix, Docker Compose, Terraform, Mermaid, ADR, and more). Drift detection (syncarchitecture) scores saved diagrams against live code 0–100 with a structured diff. 9 quality-lint rules catch orphans, SPOFs, god services. Also includes a secondary persistent code-graph layer for AI coding agents (free offline via npx tentra-mcp --local init). Agent-as-LLM pattern — zero LLM cost on our side, zero API key on yours. 35 MCP tools. Works in Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf.
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Horizun Revit MCP Tools (46)
horizun_health
Is the bridge alive, and WHICH Revit is on the other end — year, build, our own version and commit, and the document active right now (an explicit null when none is).
get_document_info
The open document, its counts and identity.
horizun_open_document
Open a model, refusing a file saved in another Revit version (opening upgrades it irreversibly) and refusing a workshared central unless asked twice.
horizun_save_document
Save, then prove it: the file's timestamp and size before and after. On a workshared model it says, loudly, that this is not a synchronize.
horizun_relinquish_all
Give back everything this user owns, and count what is still owned afterwards rather than assume zero.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Horizun Revit MCP is categorized under Architecture & Design and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Tentra MCP belongs to Architecture & Design using local stdio subprocess. Select Horizun Revit MCP when you need capabilities focused on architecture & design and Tentra MCP when you require tools for architecture & design.
Export a view and hand the IMAGE back, so the caller can look at the model instead of only reading it.
horizun_execute_python
The execution fallback: Python against the whole API on the UI thread, stdlib included. **Enabled by default**; an explicit off in `settings.json` is respected. `preflight=true` validates permission, document, size, hash and syntax without executing; the structured `__output__` evidence contract cl…
horizun_model_scan
The census, under the honesty contract.
horizun_write_params_verified
Parameter writes, each re-read after commit.
horizun_delete_verified
Deletion with the cascade counted, `dry_run` first.
horizun_document_session
Read-only session and version inspection.
horizun_audit_model
Model checks with per-check pass/fail.
