Vastu Compliance MCP Server

Vastu Compliance MCP Server

Production-oriented MCP server built with FastAPI for Autodesk workflows (Forma/Revit/APS), deterministic Vastu compliance checks, explainable recommendations, and structured JSON reporting.

Highlights

• FastAPI + OpenAPI-ready service
• MCP endpoints for tool initialization and execution
• Autodesk Platform Services integration layer (OAuth + metadata fetch)
• Geometry extraction and room/wall/door/window classification pipeline
• Directional zoning engine (8-zone compass mapping)
• Deterministic YAML/JSON Vastu rules engine
• Revit 3D footprint projection pipeline for compliance checks
• AutoCAD layout (DWG) entity projection pipeline for compliance checks
• Vedic/Puran knowledge ingestion and recommendation references
• Explainable recommendation layer (AI explanations only, no rule mutation)
• Compliance scoring + severity + confidence outputs
• Geometry validation and visualization overlays/heatmap payloads
• Plugin architecture for pre/post evaluation hooks
• Structured logging + request IDs + Prometheus metrics
• Async-by-default service and test-friendly module boundaries
• Docker and docker-compose support

AutoCAD add-in quick steps

1. Open autocad-plugin/VastuAutoCADPlugin/VastuAutoCADPlugin.csproj in Visual Studio.
2. Confirm AUTOCAD_API_DIR path in .csproj.
3. Build Release.
4. In AutoCAD run command:
   • NETLOAD
5. Select VastuAutoCADPlugin.dll.
6. Run command:
   • VASTUANALYZE

Autodesk coding standard alignment

Current plugin/backend code follows these practical Autodesk extension conventions:

• .NET add-ins use explicit command entry points (IExternalCommand / CommandMethod).
• API interaction is isolated in dedicated client service classes.
• Model extraction and transport DTOs are separated for testability.
• Read-only operations are used for model extraction in Revit and AutoCAD.
• Failures are surfaced to host UI (TaskDialog / command line) with non-crashing behavior.

Security Notes

• APS credentials are loaded from environment variables only.
• Rule evaluation is deterministic and side-effect free.
• AI layer only generates explanations/recommendations for deterministic outcomes.
