A9Inspect a 3D modelExample: a simple cube. Counts include every copy of a mesh; topology checks do not certify printability.

A checkup for your 3D model.

See how many objects, triangles and materials a model has, how large it is, and whether any textures are missing. Find holes and loose edges before you split, share or ship it. You get a short summary and a detailed report, and the model itself is never changed.

A real report on a real model. Drag to turn it; the labels stay on its bounding box.

The whole picture.

Objects, triangles, materials and textures, counted in one pass.

Size it up.

Real-world dimensions and units, whenever the file records them.

Spot the gaps.

Holes, loose edges and broken faces show up before they cause trouble.

Pay by the job.

Costs 10 credits up to 50,000 faces, 25 credits up to 200,000 faces. A job that fails costs nothing.

Connect once. Your agent calls inspect_3d_model and gets the download URLs back. This endpoint has only this tool's family, which keeps your agent's tool list short; one endpoint has every tool.

Claude Code

The first form signs in through the browser when you run /mcp. In .mcp.json (project root), ${MCPBYTES_API_KEY} is read from the environment when Claude Code connects. Claude Code docs

claude mcp add --transport http mcpbytes \
  https://api.mcpbytes.com/mcp/3d
Codex (CLI, IDE extension, ChatGPT desktop)

Codex reads the key from the environment variable each time it connects. The same table can go in ~/.codex/config.toml by hand; codex mcp add has no --header flag. Codex docs

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project). Remote servers take no "type". Without the header, the client signs you in with GitHub or an email link (OAuth). Cursor docs

inspect_3d_model
Inspects a 3D model without segmentation or repair. Returns counts, bounds, units, resources and topology checks in inspection.json, with summary.txt inline. Compares stored topology with exactly coincident vertices merged per mesh. Supports .glb .gltf .obj .ply .stl .off .blend. Give upload_id or a public https url. Waits up to wait_seconds for the result. Costs 10 credits up to 50,000 faces, 25 credits up to 200,000 faces.
create_upload
Returns a one-hour URL to PUT a local file to; then call the tool with the upload_id.
get_job
Status and results of a job; waits up to wait_seconds for it to finish.
cancel_job
Cancel a queued job or a workflow whose can_cancel is true; repeated calls never delete results.
list_jobs
Your most recent jobs, newest first.
read_job_file
Reads a text output (.txt .json .md .csv) of a succeeded job in chunks.
