Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.
Where it sits in the directory's order
What can be seen from outside, weighed as the directory publishes.
Observable signals: 20 of 100 points (at most 60 here)
| Input | Points | What was seen |
|---|---|---|
| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

Connection test
The MCP handshake, then a request for the tool list, with no key and no data of yours. Run nightly, and by anyone, at most once every ten minutes per server.
It completed the handshake and listed 19 tools.

The tools it lists (19, as of 8 days ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
upload_modelIngest 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 need it translated to SVF2 so it can be viewed, measured, or clash-checked via other tools. When NOT to use: the file is only on a local disk or behind auth (fetch will fail) — first push it to a public
detect_clashesRun 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 as zero clashes. On a model that does carry boxes it returns each overlapping pair with a severity, a suggested fix and a rework-hour estimate. This is an axis-aligned box pass with no tolerance and
get_viewer_linkReturn 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 you already have instead. Do not use to check translation progress — call get_model_metadata. APS scopes: none (URL assembly only); the viewer page itself uses viewables:read data:read server-side via /
list_modelsList 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 URN — call get_model_metadata directly. This tool is not a search; it returns up to the OSS default page (typically first 10 objects unless OSS paginates). APS scopes: bucket:read data:read Rate limits
How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
io.scanbimlabs/scanbim-mcp, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
