NavisCoord — Claude Code MCP server for Navisworks coordination
Analyze Navisworks clashes, group related issues, and draft coordination plans through an MCP server. Useful when a model review needs a clear set of decisions.
Open on GitHubWhat NavisCoord does
NavisCoord connects a native Autodesk Navisworks add-in to an MCP server running on a Windows workstation. It ranks coordination issues and gives reasons for their priority, groups related clashes, and compares saved snapshots. Live model work requires Windows and a licensed Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2024, 2025, or 2026.
The server can prepare work packages, assign trade ownership, and produce narrative reports with PDF images. It also creates handoff files for downstream tools and supports targeted writes after a plan has been reviewed. Document and revision checks run before writes, followed by read-back verification. Proposed changes still need engineering approval from the project team.
The packaged local server includes its Python dependencies, so a separate Python installation or API key is not needed for that setup. Install the Navisworks add-in separately: close Navisworks and run Install-NavisCoord.ps1. Missing discipline or level data must be mapped before relying on issue rankings.
What it helps with
- rank coordination issues by priority
- collapse duplicate clashes into traceable groups
- investigate possible root causes and affected occurrences
- compare model issues across saved snapshots
- prepare trade work packages and coordination reports
Example prompts for the agent
- Check NavisCoord, identify the active document, and analyze its clashes.
- Rank the open coordination issues and explain the evidence behind their priority.
- Draft a coordination plan and show the proposed changes before applying them.

Questions about NavisCoord
How do I install NavisCoord in Claude Code?
Close Navisworks and run Install-NavisCoord.ps1 to install the add-in. Then install the client package from Releases using the Claude Code instructions; open Navisworks Manage and load a federation to analyze a live model.
What does NavisCoord do?
It analyzes Navisworks clashes, ranks coordination issues, and helps prepare work plans. It can also produce reports and structured handoff files.
What is required to analyze a live Navisworks model?
Live coordination requires Windows and a licensed Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2024, 2025, or 2026. The standalone analysis engine can process saved exports without Navisworks.
