Speckle MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Speckle, the collaborative data hub that connects with your AEC tools.

Overview

This MCP server acts as a bridge between Speckle's API and client applications and exposes a set of tools that allow users to:

• List and search Speckle projects

• Retrieve detailed project information

• Access model versions within projects

• Retrieve and query objects and their properties from specific versions

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.13 or higher

• Speckle account with a personal access token

• uv for dependency management and virtual environments

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bimgeek/speckle-mcp.git cd speckle-mcp

2. Ensure you have Python 3.13 installed:

   python --version # Should show Python 3.13.x

3. Install dependencies using uv:

   uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Environment Variables

The server requires the following environment variables:

• SPECKLE_TOKEN: Your Speckle personal access token (required)

• SPECKLE_SERVER: The Speckle server URL (defaults to https://app.speckle.systems)

MCP Configuration

To use this server with Claude, you need to update your MCP configuration file. The configuration file is typically located at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add or update the "speckle" entry in the mcpServers section:

Replace /path/to/speckle-mcp with the actual path to the directory containing the speckle_mcp package.
