MCP server

This site hosts a Model Context Protocol server at /mcp, so an AI agent writing scanning code with Bit.BbScanner reads the library itself - its compiled API documentation, its guide, its symbology flags and option defaults, its decoder and these demo pages - instead of guessing at an API it half remembers. Every tool is read-only.

Connect a client

The endpoint is plain Streamable HTTP, so any MCP client connects with a URL and nothing else. The same tools are also served, version by version, through the bit platform's own server at https://bitplatform.dev/mcp, next to the other bit libraries.

// .mcp.json (Claude Code, VS Code, and anything else reading this shape)

Tools

Tool	What it answers
`SearchBbScanner`	Everything at once - the guide, every public member, the symbologies, the setup guides, the stylesheet and the demo sources - each hit with the exact follow-up call.
`GetBbScannerSetupGuide`	The complete wiring for one render mode: wasm, standalone-wasm, auto, server or hybrid.
`GetBbScannerGuideSection`	One section of the reference guide, or the index of sections.
`GetBbScannerApi`	One public type with every parameter, property and method, its real default and its documentation - or the index of types.
`GetBbScannerFormats`	The symbologies with their flags, what of each is read, whether the pipeline reads it, and the options that steer it with their real defaults.
`InspectBbScannerSymbol`	Renders a symbol, rotated and blurred if asked, decodes it with the library and returns the `BbBarcodeResult` it produced.
`GetBbScannerSourceFile`	One demo or library file verbatim - every page here is a working scanner - or the index of files.

The guide, the API, the symbologies and the sources are also exposed as bbscanner:// resources, and three prompts - add-bbscanner-to-app, implement-bbscanner-feature and debug-bbscanner - walk an agent through the common jobs in the right order.

The same tools over plain HTTP

Every tool is also a GET under /api/mcp/...: open one in a browser tab to read exactly what an agent is handed.
