@Olav1 If you ask Claude to handle the installation, it will do it for you. At some point, it will tell you that it needs to install something called uv/uvx. Just give it permission to proceed with all the installation steps, and in the end Claude will install the Rhino MCP plugin for you.
You need to install Visual Studio Code and then install the Claude AI desktop app. After that, Claude will guide you through the rest of the setup.
Copy and paste both links, then ask Claude to carefully read the procedures in each one before proceeding.
These are two different tools, both valid but with different purposes:
| rhinomcp (McNeel) | lamcp (gramaziokohler) | |
|---|---|---|
| Made by | McNeel (creators of Rhino) | University research lab |
| Focus | Rhino 3D in general | Grasshopper-specific |
| What it does | Creates/modifies 3D objects in Rhino | Reads/modifies Grasshopper components and sliders in real time |
| Official | Yes | No |
rhinomcp is better suited if you want Claude to create geometry in Rhino (e.g. “create a sphere”, “move this object”).
lamcp is better suited if you want to interact with Grasshopper definitions (e.g. “change the value of this slider”, “add a component”).
