AI Hub for AEC — 46 tools for Revit, Navisworks, ACC, XR via Autodesk Platform Services

46 tools for architecture and construction workflows in Revit and Autodesk platforms.

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.

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

License

MIT — Free for commercial use.

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:

x-scanbim-api-key: <your_user_key> — value is the user_key verbatim.
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.
