About BIMobject MCP Server
Connect your AI agents to BIMobject, the world's leading BIM content platform. This MCP provides 10 tools to search the marketplace, retrieve detailed product specifications, and access BIM files for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) workflows.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple BIMobject tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Product Discovery — Search for specific building products and materials using keywords and filters
- Technical Specs — Retrieve granular metadata and manufacturer details for BIM objects
- File Access — List available BIM formats (Revit, ArchiCAD, IFC, etc.) for any product
- Brand Analysis — Explore manufacturer profiles and their full digital product catalogs
The BIMobject MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
