Version 2 ships with Rhino 9; version 1 remains maintained

Rhino has always been operated by hand. On 28 October 2026, McNeel shipped Rhino 9 with an optional plug-in called RhinoAI that lets an AI agent — Claude, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot or a local model — open Rhino, run commands and build geometry. The plug-in is open source under an MIT licence and connects through a Model Context Protocol server, an open standard for wiring AI models to outside tools.
