Common questions

Is Scanbim safe?

It passed 1 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 7 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.5) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

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](https://scanbimlabs.io) — 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: — value is the user_key verbatim.
Authorization: Bearer sk_scanbim_ — 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.
