Title: A Modular Reference Architecture for MCP-Servers Enabling Agentic BIM Interaction

Abstract:
arXiv:2601.00809v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agentic workflows driven by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to Building Information Modelling (BIM), enabling natural-language retrieval, modification and generation of IFC models. Recent work has begun adopting the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a uniform tool-calling interface for LLMs, simplifying the agent side of BIM interaction. While MCP standardises how LLMs invoke tools, current BIM-side implementa
