ScanBIM (scanbim-mcp)

Ingest a 3D model from a public URL into APS OSS and kick off a Model Derivative translation job, returning the URN plus a browser viewer link and QR code. Supports 50+ formats: Revit (.rvt/.rfa), Navisworks (.nwd/.nwc), IFC, FBX, OBJ, SolidWorks, point clouds (E57/LAS/RCP), CAD (DWG/STEP/IGES), etc. When to use: you have a publicly downloadable 3D file (S3 presigned URL, GitHub raw, etc.) and nee

Run a first-pass bounding-box clash check between two element categories in a translated model. Element boxes are read from the APS Model Derivative properties endpoint; ScanBIM never estimates or synthesises geometry. If the model returns no element boxes for a category, the tool returns status 'unavailable' with the element counts it did find and runs NO clash pass - treat that as no result, not

Return a shareable browser URL for the embedded APS viewer and a matching QR code for mobile/XR handoff. Does not require the model to be fully translated — the viewer page will poll the manifest. When to use: you need to hand a stakeholder a URL to see the 3D model in a browser, or print a QR for a jobsite. When NOT to use: you need the raw APS URN for programmatic API calls — use the model_id yo

List every object currently stored in the scanbim-models OSS bucket, with URN, size in MB, and a viewer URL for each. Returns the raw OSS inventory, not the D1 models table, so freshly uploaded items appear immediately. When to use: you need to enumerate previously uploaded models to find a URN, show an inventory, or pick one for a follow-up tool call. When NOT to use: you already know the exact U

Fetch the APS Model Derivative manifest and metadata for a URN, including translation progress, derivative outputs, and a viewer URL. Use this to confirm a model has finished translating (manifest.status == 'success') before calling detect_clashes or opening the viewer. When to use: right after upload_model to poll translation progress, or later to inspect which viewable derivatives (SVF2, thumbna

Return the full matrix of supported input formats organized by subscription tier (free / pro / enterprise). Use to tell a user whether their file type is accepted before calling upload_model, or to surface pricing tier info. When to use: you need to validate a file extension or show a customer the supported format list. When NOT to use: you already know the extension is common (.rvt/.ifc/.nwd/.obj

No parameter schema on file.

List every Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) / BIM 360 project the configured APS 2-legged app has access to, flattened across all hubs, with hub_id, hub_name, project_id, project_name, and project type. When to use: you need a project_id to pass into acc_create_issue, acc_list_issues, acc_create_rfi, acc_list_rfis, acc_search_documents, or acc_project_summary. When NOT to use: you already have th

No parameter schema on file.

Create a real issue (punchlist/QC item) in ACC Build's Issues module via the APS Construction Issues v1 API. Returns the ACC-generated issue_id which can be linked back to a model URN or a detected clash. When to use: detect_clashes flagged a critical clash, or a field user reports a QC defect, and you want to track it in ACC for assignment and closeout. When NOT to use: you want to file a formal

Create a Request For Information in ACC Build's RFIs module via the APS Construction RFIs v1 API, in 'draft' status. Returns the ACC rfi_id. When to use: a trade or subcontractor needs formal information from the design team (unclear detail, conflicting spec, missing dimension) and you want a tracked paper trail. When NOT to use: the item is just a punchlist fix — use acc_create_issue. The questio

List up to 50 issues from an ACC project, optionally filtered by status and priority. Returns a normalized array of {id, title, status, priority, due_date}. When to use: you need a dashboard view of open issues, to find a specific issue by metadata, or to check the status of previously created issues. When NOT to use: you want the full audit trail of a single issue — the ACC Issues UI or the per-i

List up to 50 RFIs from an ACC project, optionally filtered by status. Returns a normalized array of {id, subject, status}. When to use: you need a quick rollup of outstanding or answered RFIs on a project, or to find a specific RFI id. When NOT to use: you want the full response thread of a single RFI — use the ACC UI or per-RFI endpoint. This tool caps at 50 results and does no pagination. APS s

Full-text search the ACC Docs module on a project for drawings, specs, submittals, and other documents matching a query string. Calls the APS Data Management v1 search endpoint scoped to a project. When to use: an agent needs to locate a spec section, a sheet, or a submittal by keyword (e.g. 'fireproofing', 'A-101', 'RFI 23'). When NOT to use: you already have the document URN/lineage — fetch it d

Fetch a single ACC/BIM 360 project's full attributes (name, type, dates, address, hub) from the APS Data Management project endpoint. If hub_id is omitted, the first hub the app can see is used. When to use: you need name, type, or scope details for a single project before acting on it, or to confirm the project still exists. When NOT to use: you want the list of all projects — call acc_list_proje

Create a shareable WebXR VR walkthrough session URL (and Meta Quest oculus:// deep link + QR code) for a translated model. The session_id is generated server-side; rendering happens in the user's Quest browser. When to use: you need to walk a client or field team through a model in immersive VR on Meta Quest 2/3/Pro. When NOT to use: the user is on a phone/tablet without a headset — use xr_launch_

Create a shareable WebXR AR passthrough session URL and QR code. On phone or tablet with WebXR AR support, the model is overlaid on the camera feed at the requested scale. When to use: a field user needs to walk the jobsite with a phone and see the model overlaid in-place at 1:1 scale, or drop a tabletop mini-model on a desk. When NOT to use: the target device is a Meta Quest in VR mode — use xr_l

List the last 20 VR/AR sessions launched via xr_launch_vr_session and xr_launch_ar_session, sorted by creation time desc. Sourced from the D1 usage_log table; returns an empty array if D1 is unavailable or no sessions have been recorded. When to use: you want to audit who launched which XR session and when, or surface recent sessions to a user. When NOT to use: you want details (join URL, features

Queue a photorealistic Twinmotion-style still render of a translated model with time-of-day, weather, season, and resolution controls. Returns a render_id and preview_url; the actual render pipeline is a ScanBIM roadmap item (Week 5 buildout), so today this tool responds synchronously with a stub job descriptor. When to use: you want a scripted way to request a hero still for a proposal or client

Queue a cinematic Twinmotion-style fly-through video of a translated model. Returns a video_id and download_url; the render pipeline is a ScanBIM roadmap item so today this tool responds synchronously with a stub job descriptor. When to use: you want a short marketing or pre-con video scripted from an agent workflow. When NOT to use: you want real-time interactivity — use get_viewer_link. You want

Queue a Lumion-style architectural visualization still render with landscaping, people, vehicles, and atmospheric effects. Returns a render_id and preview_url; the render pipeline is a ScanBIM roadmap item so today this tool responds synchronously with a stub job descriptor. When to use: you want a more 'Lumion-flavored' render (lush entourage, vehicles, people) vs. Twinmotion's cleaner look. When
