Hello Rhino Com
I just installed Rhino GPT & I’m not really getting the hang of it, is it something where you need to tell it what to do or does it figure it out. Also, I heard something about Claude plugin…, would people share their experience with Claude & chat GPT?
Thank you
Rhino MCP Platform
Have you installed the Rhino MCP Platform? You can connect Rhino to Claude (or GPT) and control Rhino right from the AI prompt. It handles Grasshopper really well too.
What do you think about Rhino GPT?
I’ve only used the Rhino-MCP-Platform mentioned by Japhy above, and I’ve connected it solely with Claude. However, seeing others use OpenAI models, there doesn’t seem to be a huge difference between them. (Personally, I feel Claude works a bit better.)
I experimented with RhinoMCP and just today starting to experiment with Rhino-MCP-Platform. I mostly use LM Studio for many of my AI experiments.
However, Rhino-MCP-Platform always launches a new Rhino window, even if there’s a Rhino window opened already. And after LM Studio delivered the result, the new Rhino window opened by Rhino-MCP-Platform automatically closed itself. It didn’t happen when my laptop was using RhinoMCP.
The System info is as following:

===========
Any thoughts on this issue or some manual settings I missed? Highly appreciated.
There’s a ticket to test and improve local models more
Thanks @CallumSykes
not quite following.
If i want to use a specific rhino instance i give it the address (MCP server running on http://localhost:10501/), if not it will open its own so as to not interfere with my open instances, do its thing and then close it. If i didn’t want it closed i would tell it so.
Really appreciate it @Japhy
I’ll definitely give it a shot 
It works @Japhy. Really appreciate it! No more new Rhino window popping up and closing by itself.
