Matterport MCP with Claude: Manage 3D Tours and Digital Twins Through Natural Language
The short answer
Claude works with Matterport through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that gives Claude secure, permissioned access to your Matterport spaces. Once connected, Claude can list spaces, retrieve 3D tours, manage assets and share virtual environments when someone asks in natural language, with your team approving consequential changes.
What is Matterport?
Matterport is a 3D capture and collaboration platform. Organisations use it to create immersive digital twins of real-world places, such as offices, homes, retail stores, hotels and construction sites. Teams capture a space, publish it as an interactive 3D tour, and share it with colleagues, clients or the public. Property, facilities, design, construction and sales teams rely on it to document and present physical spaces without repeated site visits.
How Claude connects to Matterport through MCP
The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is an open standard that lets Claude use other software securely. Think of it as a universal adapter between Claude and a tool like Matterport. Matterport supports connection through its MCP server or a direct API, and sign-in uses the Basic or OAuth methods the platform supports.
Once connected, Claude can read information from your Matterport account. It can list the spaces you have, retrieve the 3D tours linked to them, check the assets attached to a space and find the right virtual environment from a plain-language request. Depending on the permissions you grant, it can also help manage assets and share tours.
Permissions stay with your organisation. Access is limited to what your team chooses, following the least-privilege principle. Sensitive actions such as sharing a tour outside the company can require a person to approve them first, and every action can be recorded in audit logs so you always know what happened and who approved it.
What you can automate
Finding the right space quickly
A facilities manager asks Claude which office floors have been scanned in the last year. Claude lists the matching spaces from Matterport and returns each tour link with its capture date. The team no longer scrolls through folders to locate a site, saving time during planning and maintenance reviews.
Preparing tours for sales and leasing
A leasing executive requests the latest 3D tours for three available properties. Claude retrieves the tours and summarises the key details the sales team needs. A person then reviews and approves the shortlist before it goes to prospective tenants, keeping the client experience accurate and consistent.
Organising assets for design and construction
A project manager working on a refurbishment asks Claude to list the assets attached to a site scan. Claude identifies which floor plans and images are linked to the space, helping the design and build teams work from the same reference. Changes are made only after the project lead signs off.
Sharing virtual environments with stakeholders
A regional director wants a digital twin of a new branch shared with the board. Claude checks the tour, prepares a short note describing it, and drafts the sharing request. An administrator confirms the recipients before any link is sent, so only the right people gain access.
Keeping records current across sites
An operations lead asks Claude which spaces have not been updated in over eighteen months. Claude produces a list that the team can use to schedule re-captures. This turns a manual audit into a quick, repeatable check across many locations.
An end-to-end workflow: New branch digital twin for leadership review
TriggerA branch capture is completed in Matterport and a request is logged in the company ticketing system.
Claude reads the new ticket and identifies the Matterport space linked to the branch.
Claude retrieves the 3D tour and the attached floor plans and assets.
Claude drafts a summary of the space and the review checklist for the operations team.
A manager reviews the draft and approves the sharing request within the ticket.
Claude shares the tour with the approved leadership group and records the action in the audit log.
Claude updates the ticket in Microsoft 365 with the link and a note for the board pack.
OutcomeLeadership receives a verified digital twin and a clear summary within the same working day, with every sharing step approved and logged. Typical results vary by organisation and setup.
How we set it up
Free automation audit
We review how your teams currently use Matterport, identify repetitive tasks such as finding spaces, preparing tours and sharing them, and agree which workflows are worth automating.
Secure connection
We connect Claude to your Matterport account using the Basic or OAuth sign-in method the platform supports, with least-privilege access so Claude only reaches what your team approves.
Workflow design
We map the end-to-end process across Matterport and your other systems, such as Microsoft 365, your CRM or ticketing tool, and define which actions need a person's approval.
Testing and launch
We test the workflow against real past spaces and tours, then launch with monitoring and audit logs so you can see every action Claude takes.
Team training
We train your staff on how to make requests in plain language, review approvals and read the logs, so your team can run the workflow confidently after handover.
Who benefits
- Facilities and property managers
- Find, review and track scanned spaces across many sites without manual searching.
- Sales and leasing teams
- Prepare accurate 3D tours for prospects faster, with approvals before anything is shared.
- Design and construction leads
- Keep everyone working from the same space records and linked assets.
- IT and operations heads
- Gain controlled, auditable access to Matterport data with clear permissions.
Security and control
- Least-privilege access so Claude only reaches the spaces and actions your team allows.
- Human approval required before sharing tours outside the organisation or changing assets.
- Audit logs that record each request, action and approver for review.
- Regular checks of connection permissions, with access removed when staff or projects change.
- Clear boundaries agreed during the audit, so automation supports rather than replaces your governance.
For teams in the US, UK, India and the Middle East
Organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom can host the workflow in their chosen region and align it with their existing data protection and governance rules. In India, we design around the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including consent and data minimisation. For organisations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, we configure access and hosting to meet local data protection laws. Hosting regions are chosen to meet your specific legal and contractual requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Matterport MCP server do?
The Matterport MCP server acts as a secure bridge between Claude and your Matterport account. It allows Claude to list your spaces, retrieve 3D tours and manage assets through plain-language requests. The server only exposes the actions your permissions allow, so your team stays in control of what Claude can read and change.
Is connecting Matterport to Claude secure?
Security depends on the setup, and we design it carefully. We use the Basic or OAuth sign-in method Matterport supports, grant least-privilege access, require approval for sensitive actions and keep audit logs. Credentials are handled according to your organisation's security standards, and access can be revoked at any time.
What can Claude actually do in Matterport?
Once connected, Claude can typically list spaces, retrieve 3D tours, check attached assets and help share virtual environments. Depending on permissions, it can also assist with managing assets. It works from your instructions in everyday language, and consequential actions can be set to wait for a person's approval.
How long does setup take?
Timelines vary with the number of workflows and the systems involved. A focused connection with one or two workflows is often completed within a few weeks, including audit, testing and training. We confirm the schedule during the free automation audit, once we understand your processes.
Which Matterport plan or permissions do I need?
Generally, you need an account with the access level that allows the actions you want Claude to perform, such as viewing spaces or managing assets. The exact requirements depend on your account and the sign-in method used. We check your current access during the audit and recommend the least-privilege setup for your workflows.
