## Description

Managing physical keys shouldn't rely on messy paper logs or memory. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a digital custodian for your household or facility keys. You can use it to document exactly when a key leaves your possession and who is responsible for it. When a person brings a key back, you simply tell your agent to close the loop. This creates a reliable, searchable history of every handoff. If you ever need to know which keys are currently out in the field, your agent can pull that list instantly. It's a straightforward way to maintain accountability for physical access without manual bookkeeping.

## Tools

### generate_signoff_report
Creates a high-level summary table for auditing. This report only includes completed transaction cycles.

### log_key_issuance
Records the moment a key is handed over to a specific person. The tool checks to make sure the key isn't already marked as issued before saving the entry.

### log_key_return
Closes a custody event when a key is handed back to the primary custodian. It requires the key to be in an active issued state to work.

### query_active_custody
Identifies everyone who currently has keys in their possession. You can filter the results by the holder's name.
