1. Download the latest TycoonAI-BIM-Platform-Setup.exe from src/installer/bin/Release/
2. Run installer as Administrator - All components install automatically including Node.js prerequisites
3. Open Revit - Look for the "Tycoon AI-BIM" tab in the ribbon
4. Copy MCP Config - Click the button to copy JSON configuration
5. Configure AI Assistant - Paste into your AI assistant's MCP settings

Note: The installer is a WiX bootstrapper (1.68 MB) that includes the MSI package, MCP server, and Node.js dependencies.

1. Open Augment settings
2. Navigate to MCP configuration section
3. Paste the copied JSON configuration
4. Restart Augment to load the new server
5. Test connection: "What Revit elements do I have selected?"

1. Install the MCP extension in VS Code
2. Add Tycoon configuration to VS Code settings
3. Restart VS Code to activate the connection
4. Test integration with your Revit model
