Best for
  • Users of Sketchup who want AI-assisted modeling.
  • Designers and developers needing automation of modeling tasks.
  • Users familiar with Ruby and willing to extend Sketchup functionality.
  • Teams that want an AI assistant to directly operate on GitHub repos and collaboration workflows
  • Users already in the GitHub Copilot ecosystem who want a zero-deployment remote option
Not for
  • Users who do not use Sketchup.
  • Lightweight scenes requiring real-time rendering or complex animations.
  • Environments with high security requirements that disallow arbitrary code execution.
  • Scenarios where you don't want the assistant to have write access to repos (enable only read-only toolsets)
  • Environments with strict network isolation for private repos that can't reach the official remote endpoint
Required permissions
  • Create, modify, delete components within Sketchup.
  • Execute arbitrary Ruby code, potentially affecting the Sketchup environment.
  • Network communication via TCP (default port 9876).
  • A personal access token (PAT) or OAuth App token; effective scope depends on the token's own permissions
  • Enabling toolsets like actions/issues/pull_requests grants write access — request tokens on a least-privilege basis
Risks and side effects
  • The eval_ruby tool allows arbitrary Ruby execution, which could crash Sketchup or corrupt data.
  • TCP connection is unencrypted and could be intercepted.
  • Dependencies on both Sketchup and MCP server running simultaneously; otherwise connection fails.
  • Write toolsets (creating/merging PRs, triggering workflows) can cause accidental changes if the token is overscoped — try a read-only toolset first
  • In hosted mode, credentials travel via the Authorization header — make sure the client-to-api.githubcopilot.com connection is trusted
