HuskyBIM for Dalux

HuskyBIM for Dalux connects Claude Desktop to Dalux — the construction-management and field-BIM platform (Dalux Build + Dalux Field/FM). With 141 tools you can browse projects, dashboards, tasks, QC issues, files, handover, locations and daily logs, and upload AEC files of any format into Box — all in plain language, without manual navigation.

Delivered as a Claude Desktop extension (.mcpb). No installer needed. Download the extension from your account page, open it in Claude Desktop, and enter your extension token. The Dalux Desktop app must be open and logged in for the live layer.

How it works — two layers

HuskyBIM for Dalux works in two complementary ways. Some tools drive the running Dalux Desktop app directly; others use Dalux's official REST API once you provide your company's API key.

1 · Works now — drives the Dalux Desktop app (no key)

With the Dalux Desktop app open and logged in, Claude can browse your projects, dashboards, tasks, QC issues, files, handover, locations and daily logs. It can also upload files of any AEC format — Revit .rvt, IFC, BCF, PDF, DWG, point clouds — into Box, with verified read-back, and create Box comments and issues.

2 · Works with an API key — official Dalux REST API (Build + FM)

Provide your company's Dalux API-identity key and a built-in REST API layer unlocks full create and update across Dalux Build and Dalux FM — projects, tasks, tickets, work orders, assets, buildings, files and forms. Set the key via the DALUX_API_KEY environment variable or a ~/.huskybim-dalux-key file.

HuskyBIM is an independent product and is not an official Dalux partner or product. The API layer uses Dalux's own public REST API with a key you obtain from Dalux for your own account.

Requirements

• Claude Desktop — download at claude.ai/download
• Node.js — standard runtime, bundled with the extension flow
• A Dalux account — for Dalux Build and/or Dalux Field/FM
• Dalux Desktop — open and logged in, for the live layer
• Optional: a Dalux API key — to enable the official REST create/update layer
• Free HuskyBIM account — sign up

Installation

Download the extension

Install in Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop. Go to Settings → Extensions and click Install extension. Select the downloaded .mcpb file, or drag and drop it onto the Extensions panel. It appears as an extension.

In the HuskyBIM Dalux extension settings, enter your extension token. Find your token at huskybim.com/account under Extension Token. Optionally add your DALUX_API_KEY here to enable the REST create/update layer.

Review the active project

Using the Dalux REST API, create an FM work order for asset AHU-03 titled "Replace filter" and assign it to the maintenance team.

Troubleshooting

Live tools not responding

Ensure the Dalux Desktop app is open and logged in before making calls. The live layer drives the running app — if Dalux was not open at that point, open it and try again, or restart Claude Desktop after Dalux is running.

Create/update tools unavailable

The full create and update operations require the official Dalux REST API. Add your Dalux API-identity key via the DALUX_API_KEY environment variable or a ~/.huskybim-dalux-key file, then restart Claude Desktop.

License error on first call

Check that your extension token is correctly entered in Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions → HuskyBIM Dalux. Tokens are case-sensitive and must not contain spaces. Find your token at huskybim.com/account.

Extension not visible in Claude Desktop

If the extension does not appear after installation, ensure you are using Claude Desktop (not the web app). Go to Settings → Extensions and verify the extension is enabled. Re-install the .mcpb file if needed.
