Overview

AI-generated overview

A hosted MCP hub for architecture, engineering and construction that lets an assistant upload, convert, view, analyze and share BIM models and manage ACC issues

What you can do
Upload and translate 3D models (Revit, IFC, Navisworks, point clouds, 50+ formats) and list or inspect them with metadata and viewer links plus QR codes. Run clash detection with built-in VDC rules and generate coordination reports and viewpoints. Work with ACC/BIM 360 projects: list projects, create and update issues, create and list RFIs, search documents, upload files and get project summaries. Extract Revit elements, parameters, schedules, sheets and views, and export IFC. Launch VR/AR sessions and produce renders, walkthroughs and environment settings for visualization.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to work with building models and construction coordination data without installing CAD software: converting and sharing models, checking clashes, or filing and tracking ACC issues and RFIs. Best suited to AEC teams already using Autodesk Platform Services and ACC/BIM 360.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. Requires a ScanBIM API key sent as an Authorization bearer header (or the x-scanbim-api-key header, not both). The service calls Autodesk Platform Services on your behalf, and paid tiers gate formats such as Revit and Navisworks.
Before you install
Calls debit credits and return 402 with checkout links when credits run out; plans are priced monthly and higher tiers unlock more formats. Mixing the two auth header formats silently creates a new free-plan account. Tools create and update issues, RFIs and upload files in ACC projects, and models and project data are sent to ScanBIM and Autodesk Platform Services.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Scanbim 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%2Fscanbim/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

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

ScanBIM Labs — VDC + AI + Reality Capture

20 years of BIM/VDC operations, now AI-native. Built by a VDC practitioner, not a dev shop.

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.
