# Estimote MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Estimote MCP lets you manage your entire beacon fleet directly through your AI agent. You can list devices, check battery levels, update broadcasting parameters, and pull real-time sensor telemetry like temperature or motion. It handles everything from tagging beacons to auditing physical locations in the cloud. ## Overview - **Category:** cloud-infrastructure - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_YWJxFwWDkHG6WdRzBFi8x8MrOjpQgfXXRusEJ7I2/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** bluetooth-beacons, proximity-analytics, sensor-telemetry, fleet-management, smart-buildings, location-tracking ## Description Managing a fleet of IoT beacons usually means jumping between the Estimote Cloud dashboard and your own internal tools to check things like battery life or sensor data. It's a lot of clicking. This Connector changes that by letting you talk to your beacon fleet in plain English. You can ask your agent to find every beacon with a low battery, update the transmission power for a specific store, or grab the latest temperature readings from a set of sensors. Instead of hunting through menus, you just tell your agent what you need to know. It handles the heavy lifting of interacting with the Estimote Cloud shadow system and proximity analytics. If you're looking for a way to manage large-scale IoT deployments without the constant tab-switching, this is how you do it. You'll find it's one of the most practical ways to keep your physical hardware in sync with your digital workflows through the Vinkius catalog. ## Tools ### create_physical_location Register a new physical location like a store or venue with geographic coordinates. Use this to organize your beacon fleet by site. ### remove_beacon_device Permanently remove a beacon from your cloud account to stop its management and analytics. Use this only when decommissioning hardware. ### get_device_analytics Retrieve proximity analytics like detection counts and dwell time for specific devices. This is useful for foot traffic and engagement studies. ### get_beacon_details Get the full configuration and status for a specific beacon, including its firmware and battery. Use this to diagnose configuration issues. ### get_beacon_telemetry Pull the most recent sensor readings like temperature and light levels from supported hardware. Use this for environmental monitoring. ### list_beacon_devices List all registered beacons in your account including hardware types and battery levels. This provides a quick inventory of your deployed fleet. ### list_physical_locations View all registered physical locations along with their addresses and beacon counts. This helps you audit your deployment footprint. ### update_beacon_settings Modify broadcasting parameters, advertising intervals, or metadata tags through the cloud shadow system. These changes sync to the physical device automatically. ### assign_tag_to_beacon Assign an organizational tag to a specific beacon to group it by floor, zone, or campaign. This helps with fleet management and analytics filtering. ### list_fleet_tags See all organizational tags currently defined in your Estimote Cloud account. Use this to understand your current fleet taxonomy. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Which beacons in my 'Warehouse' location are running low on battery? ``` **Response:** ``` Checking your warehouse fleet... I found 3 beacons that need attention: | Beacon Name | Battery | Status | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Aisle 4 | 12% | **Low** | | Dock Door | 15% | **Low** | | Loading Bay | 18% | **Low** | Would you like me to update their transmission power to save energy? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the current temperature and light level at the 'Main Lobby' beacon? ``` **Response:** ``` Checking telemetry for the Main Lobby beacon... * **Temperature:** 22.4°C (72.3°F) * **Ambient Light:** 450 lux * **Motion Detected:** Yes (last 2 minutes) Everything seems to be within normal operating parameters. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Give me a summary of visitor engagement for the 'Retail Zone' tag last month. ``` **Response:** ``` Here is the engagement summary for the **Retail Zone** tag from last month: * **Unique Visitors:** ~1,420 * **Average Dwell Time:** 18 minutes * **Peak Activity:** Saturdays, 2 PM - 5 PM Traffic was consistently higher in the 'North Corner' sub-section. ``` ## Capabilities ### Audit fleet battery and status Instantly see which beacons need maintenance across your entire network. ### Update broadcasting parameters Change transmission power and advertising intervals through the cloud shadow. ### Pull proximity analytics Get unique visitor counts and dwell time distributions for specific zones. ### Fetch real-time telemetry Access live temperature, light, and motion data from supported hardware. ### Manage physical locations Register and organize venues with geographic coordinates for better grouping. ### Organize with custom tags Group devices by floor, zone, or campaign for easier filtering. ### Decommission hardware Permanently remove old devices from your cloud account management. ## Use Cases ### Low Battery Audit An ops manager asks the agent to find all beacons with less than 20% battery and list their locations. The agent uses list_beacon_devices to identify them. ### Retail Foot Traffic A store manager asks for a summary of unique visitors and dwell times for the 'Main Entrance' tag last week. The agent pulls this via get_device_analytics. ### Environmental Monitoring A facility manager asks for the current temperature and motion status for all sensors in the warehouse. The agent uses get_beacon_telemetry to fetch the data. ### New Store Setup A deployment lead asks the agent to register a new store location and assign ten new beacons to it. The agent uses create_physical_location and assign_tag_to_beacon. ## Benefits - Stop manual battery checks. Use list_beacon_devices to instantly see which hardware needs a charge across your entire deployment. - Update settings in bulk. Use update_beacon_settings to change broadcasting power or intervals without logging into the web portal. - Get instant telemetry. Use get_beacon_telemetry to check temperature or motion data for specific sensors on the fly. - Organize your space. Use create_physical_location and assign_tag_to_beacon to map your hardware to real-world zones. - Analyze foot traffic. Use get_device_analytics to pull dwell times and visitor counts for specific campaign periods. - Clean up old hardware. Use remove_beacon_device to decommission old units while keeping the rest of your fleet active. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire Estimote Cloud account. 1.
