Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server for Navisworks BIM coordination: upload NWD models, extract clashes, export reports and read viewpoints and model objects.

What you can do
Upload NWD model files for coordination review and list their objects and properties with model data retrieval tools. Extract clash detection results from uploaded models. Generate coordination reports in PDF, XLSX or HTML. Retrieve saved viewpoints from the model.
When to use it
Useful for AEC and BIM coordination work where an assistant should inspect clash results, summarize model objects or produce coordination reports from Navisworks NWD files without opening the desktop application.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime or package. A ScanBIM API key sent in the Authorization header as a bearer token (the README also documents an x-scanbim-api-key header). The README states APS OAuth2 client credentials are used server-side. Network access is required.
Before you install
Calls consume credits: a successful call debits credits and a 402 response means insufficient credits with top-up links, so usage costs money. The API key is a secret and must be kept private. Uploading NWD files sends model data to a third-party service. The README warns that mixing the two auth header formats silently creates a new free-plan account.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Navisworks in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.scanbimlabs%2Fnavisworks/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

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

bash
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.

This server asks for a credential such as an API key, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without one and has not indexed them.
