Connect ChatGPT to your point cloud scans

ChatGPT connects to Pointscape as a connector over MCP. Add AI to your Pointscape plan, then in ChatGPT open Settings, Apps & Connectors, Advanced, turn on Developer mode, choose Create and paste https://api.pointscape.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Pointscape account and allow access. ChatGPT then reads the scans you share and proposes measurements, issues, notes and classification changes. Your ChatGPT plan pays for the conversation.

AI is optional. Pro and Cloud work in full without it; add AI only if you want an assistant on your scans. The current price of the AI step is shown in the App Store.

Setup

5 steps

Add AI to your plan

Open Pointscape on your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, Subscription, and turn on Add AI on Pro or Cloud. It is optional and can be turned off again at renewal. You need to be signed in to a Pointscape account; the connection is tied to it.

Add Pointscape to ChatGPT

In ChatGPT on the web, open Settings, Apps & Connectors, Advanced, and turn on Developer mode. Choose Create, name it Pointscape, paste https://api.pointscape.ai/mcp as the server URL, keep OAuth as the authentication, and save. Connectors are created on the web; once created, they are available in the ChatGPT apps too.

Sign in and tap Allow

A Pointscape sign-in page opens. Sign in with your Pointscape account and tap Allow to let the AI read your projects, propose findings and move the view on your device. Disconnect it at any time under Settings, Subscription, AI.

Let AI read a scan

Open a scan in Pointscape, open the AI panel in the viewer and turn on Let AI read this scan. A scan on your device is readable while the app is in the foreground; cloud scans are reachable anytime.

Ask

Start a chat, enable the Pointscape connector for it from the + menu if ChatGPT asks, and ask in plain words. iPad tip: put ChatGPT next to Pointscape in Split View and watch it move the camera, crop the view and pin issues as it works.

Things to ask ChatGPT

Copy one, or say it your own way. What else AI can do with a scan.

"Check the floor slab in the scan I have open against ±10 mm. Pin every area that is out of tolerance as an issue and tell me the worst high and low spot."
"What share of this slab is within ±5 mm? Show me where the biggest dip is."
"Count the columns in this hall and tell me which ones are out of plumb by more than 10 mm."
"Compare the scan stations in this project. Do any disagree by more than 5 mm on the same walls?"
"Fly the camera around the building once, then walk me through the ground floor starting at the entrance."

What it can do

Browse your projects and cloud scans, and read a scan's bounds, classes and layout.
Read the points of a scan you shared from the device, render views, and move the camera or crop the view while you watch.
Measure regions, segment ground, planes and objects, count and find things, and check a floor, ceiling or wall for flatness, level and plumb against named standards.
Propose measurements, issues, notes, labels and class changes. Each waits in Pointscape until you confirm or discard it; confirmed ones go into the project and its PDF report.

Privacy and control

The AI sees only scans you shared and projects on your account, and only through the tools you allowed at sign-in. Rendered views, numeric summaries and small samples of points go through Pointscape's API to OpenAI under its terms; raw files do not. Turn off sharing for a scan, or disconnect under Settings, Subscription, AI, and access ends immediately. Details in the Privacy Policy.

Questions

Why Developer mode? Developer mode is where ChatGPT lets you add a connector by URL. Pointscape is a standard MCP server with OAuth sign-in, so nothing else is needed: no keys, no scripts.

Does it work in the ChatGPT iPad app? Create the connector on the web first; it is then available in your ChatGPT apps. Keep Pointscape in the foreground while ChatGPT reads a scan on the device.

Can it change my project without asking? No. Everything it writes is a proposal that waits for you in Pointscape. Only confirmed proposals appear in the project and its PDF report.

Do I need AI to use Pointscape? No. AI is an optional step on the Pro and Cloud plans. Viewing, measuring, flatness checks and PDF reports work without it; add AI only if you want an assistant on your scans.
