Product Rhino 9 Ships an MIT-Licensed MCP Bridge. You Bring the Model, You Pay for It, You Pick the Tools. AEC Magazine's 12 November report from Rhino World fills in McNeel's AI position. Rhino 9 arrived in late October with RhinoAI as one of thirteen feature groups: an MIT-licensed MCP integration on McNeel's own GitHub, built by one developer with Claude Code, that drives Claude, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI or a model on your own machine.
