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 thesk_scanbim_prefix; the D1user_keycolumn 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 includescheckout_urlsfor all 5 credit packs andtop_up_urlfor the billing page.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
