ScanBIM MCP — The AI Hub for AEC

Give Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI agent the ability to upload, convert, view, analyze, and share BIM models across 50+ formats.

Upload a .rvt file. Get back a shareable 3D viewer link with QR code. Run clash detection with 20 years of VDC intelligence. Create RFIs. Launch VR walkthroughs. No software install needed.

Ecosystem (5 Workers, 46 Tools)

All 46 tools make real Autodesk Platform Services API calls. Zero stubs. Verified April 12, 2026.

VDC Intelligence Engine

Clash detection powered by 20 years of field experience encoded into D1-backed rules:

• 9 severity rules — SMACNA, NEC, ACI 318, AISC, ASCE 7 standards
• 5 coordination standards — MEP clearance, structural proximity
• Fix suggestions — Real construction advice, not generic "move element"
• Rework estimation — Hours-to-fix based on actual project data

Authentication

Two accepted header formats. Use one, do NOT mix:

1. x-scanbim-api-key: <your_user_key> — value is the user_key verbatim.
2. Authorization: Bearer sk_scanbim_<your_user_key> — value is the entire string including the sk_scanbim_ prefix; the D1 user_key column must match this full string.

Mixing formats auto-creates a fresh free-plan row for the alternate key (you'll silently get a new 50-credit account on each switch).

Get your user_key at scanbim.app/settings/billing.

Example

curl -X POST https://mcp.scanbimlabs.io/unified/mcp \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "x-scanbim-api-key: $SCANBIM_USER_KEY" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"list_models","arguments":{}}}'

Response codes

• 200 — tool call proceeded; credits debited.
• 401 — missing or malformed auth header (middleware returns JSON-RPC error code -32001).
• 402 — insufficient credits; response body includes checkout_urls for all 5 credit packs and top_up_url for the billing page.
