# BoxLock MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > BoxLock MCP lets your AI agent manage physical smart locks and delivery logistics. It handles everything from authorizing worker access to tracking barcodes and monitoring audit logs across your facilities. Stop manually checking lock statuses or hunting for delivery logs. Let your AI agent handle the security operations and logistics coordination for you, giving you a clear view of your entire infrastructure. ## Overview - **Category:** security-compliance - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_qLClH2VG5gqexpKO2gFMa9dj5uXROkZNwrJm6pbk/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** smart-lock, access-control, logistics-security, package-delivery, remote-monitoring, physical-security ## Description Imagine you're running a warehouse where deliveries happen around the clock. Instead of constantly jumping between three different screens to see which gate is open, checking if a courier has arrived, or looking up a barcode in a spreadsheet, you just tell your AI what needs to happen. This Connector connects your BoxLock Control account directly to your favorite AI client, turning it into a real-time security coordinator. You can ask your agent to give a specific worker access to a loading dock for an hour or check the battery levels of every lock in a large building. It keeps your physical security in sync with your digital records. Because it's hosted on the Vinkius catalog, you can get this set up quickly and start moving from manual oversight to automated logistics. It handles the boring stuff like pulling historical access logs or checking barcode directories so you can focus on actually running the operation. You can monitor your entire infrastructure from one place, ensuring that your physical goods and the doors they pass through are always accounted for. This isn't just about opening doors; it's about having a live, queryable record of every interaction that happens at your site. You can get a pulse on your facility's health without ever having to log into a separate portal or piece together data from different sources. It's about making the physical world respond to your digital commands in real time. ## Tools ### get_lock Get specific details about a single smart lock. Use this to check the current status of a specific device. ### list_activities Retrieve your historical access logs. This helps you build an audit trail of every opening and scan. ### list_barcodes View all active barcodes in your system. It's the easiest way to see your trackable assets in one list. ### list_locations See all your physical sites and groups. This gives your agent a full map of your infrastructure. ### list_locks Get a list of every BoxLock smart lock you own. Use it to see battery levels and connectivity at a glance. ### list_users View all users in your organization. This helps you manage who has permission to interact with your hardware. ### press_to_open Remotely authorize a lock to be opened. This is how you grant real-time access to workers. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active smart locks in my organization. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your smart locks. You currently have 5 active devices, including 'Front Gate' (Battery: 85%) and 'Loading Dock B'. Which one would you like to inspect for activity logs? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Authorize 'Loading Dock B' (ID: 'lock_123') to be opened for worker '101' for the next hour. ``` **Response:** ``` Remote opening authorized! The lock 'Loading Dock B' can now be opened when the physical button is pressed by worker 101. The authorization expires in 60 minutes. Shall I monitor for the opening event? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show the last 5 access events for all locks from today. ``` **Response:** ``` Accessing audit logs... Today's last 5 events include 3 successful openings at 'Warehouse West' and 2 barcode scans for asset 'P-500'. All interactions were within high-fidelity norms. Need more historical context? ``` ## Capabilities ### Authorize lock openings Remotely grant specific workers access to physical locks via a button press. ### Monitor access history Pull detailed audit logs to see who entered which site and when. ### Track physical assets Access your barcode directories to maintain a digital ledger of goods. ### Manage lock health Check battery levels and connectivity status for all your smart locks. ### Coordinate site locations View your entire directory of physical sites and groups. ## Use Cases ### Temporary worker access A delivery driver is stuck at a gate. The manager asks the agent to use press_to_open to authorize the gate for one hour. ### Battery maintenance check A facility lead wants to know which locks need charging. The agent runs list_locks to identify low-battery devices. ### Security audit review A security team needs to see who entered the warehouse last night. The agent pulls the logs with list_activities. ### Inventory barcode retrieval A warehouse worker needs to know the barcode list for a new shipment. The agent retrieves the directory with list_barcodes. ## Benefits - Get real-time lock status without manual checks by using list_locks to see battery and connectivity levels instantly. You'll know exactly which devices need maintenance before they go offline. - Simplify worker access by using press_to_open to grant temporary permissions for specific time windows. This removes the need to share permanent codes or keys with outside contractors. - Maintain a clear audit trail of every entry by pulling historical data with list_activities. You can quickly verify who entered a site and at what time for security compliance. - Keep your inventory organized by accessing your barcode directories with list_barcodes. This ensures your agent has the most current data on all trackable physical assets. - Coordinate multiple sites easily by pulling your full infrastructure map with list_locations. You can manage permissions and status for various groups of locks from a single chat. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a hands-off way to manage physical security and logistics through natural conversation. 1.
