# Traction Guest MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Traction Guest lets you run your entire visitor management system through your AI agent.

Usually, you're jumping between different browser tabs to check who's supposed to arrive, manually typing in visitor names, and hunting for host details. Traction Guest changes that by letting your AI agent handle the heavy lifting. You can ask your agent to schedule a group tour for twenty people or check who's currently in the building without ever logging into the main dashboard. It handles the tedious stuff like batch-onboarding new employees as hosts or pulling audit logs for your next compliance review. By connecting this to your workspace through the Vinkius catalog, you turn your AI into a dedicated receptionist that knows your office layout and security protocols. You get to spend less time on data entry and more time actually managing the space. ## Tools ### create_group_visit Schedule group events like tours or training sessions by providing name, date, and host details. ### create_signin Check a visitor into the building and record their purpose of visit. ### create_host Add a new employee to the system so they can receive and host visitors. ### get_signin See the full check-in record for a specific visitor. ### list_audit_logs Retrieve security and compliance logs for reporting or investigations. ### create_hosts_batch Onboard multiple new employees as hosts in a single operation to save time. ### create_invite Send a visitor invitation for a specific location with a scheduled date and time. ### create_watchlist Build a security list of restricted individuals to flag during screening. ### delete_group_visit Cancel a scheduled group event that is no longer needed. ### delete_invite Remove a visitor invitation and all associated data from the system. ### get_group_visit View the full details of a specific group appointment or tour. ### get_invite Inspect the complete information for a specific visitor invitation. ### get_location Look up office details and configurations before creating new invites. ### list_group_visits See all scheduled group events across your organization. ### list_hosts View all employees registered as hosts and their assigned locations. ### list_invites Check upcoming visitor arrivals and filter them by specific office locations. ### list_locations Find all office locations and addresses in your organization. ### list_packages See the different visitor management plans and features available to you. ### list_registrations View the queue of pre-registered visitors waiting to be converted to invites. ### list_signins Monitor who is currently on-site and view past visit history. ### list_watchlists Review your security screening configurations and restricted visitor lists. ### update_group_visit Reschedule a group tour or change the expected number of attendees. ### update_invite Change the host or meeting time for an existing visitor invitation. ### update_signin Record a visitor's check-out time or update their visit purpose. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Who is currently in the New York office? ``` **Response:** ``` I've checked the current sign-ins for the New York location.

They ask the agent to `create_invite` instantly without opening the dashboard. ### Booking large group tours HR needs to set up a campus tour for 20 people. They use `create_group_visit` to book the time and host in one go. ### Verifying security status Security needs to check a visitor against a restricted list. They ask the agent to `list_watchlists` to see if the name is flagged. ### Getting a real-time headcount A manager needs to see who's in the building for a fire drill. They ask the agent to `list_signins` to get a real-time headcount. ## Benefits - Stop manual data entry by using `create_hosts_batch` to onboard entire departments of employees at once. - Get real-time visibility into building occupancy by asking your agent to `list_signins` at any time. - Simplify group event planning by using `create_group_visit` to schedule tours and training sessions. - Improve site security by quickly checking `list_watchlists` and `list_audit_logs` during investigations. - Reduce front desk friction by having your agent `create_invite` for visitors as they arrive at the door. - Stay organized across multiple offices by using `list_locations` to verify site details before booking. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get to run your front desk operations through a chat interface instead of a complex dashboard. 1.

You can ask your agent to sign in visitors, check who's currently on-site, and track the purpose of their visits in real time. **How does Traction Guest MCP help with security watchlists?** It gives your agent direct access to your security watchlists. You can ask your agent to check for restricted individuals or pull audit logs to see who has been accessing your facility. **Can I use this to schedule group tours or training sessions?** Yes, it supports group visits. You can use your agent to book tours, interviews, or training sessions for multiple people at once and manage the attendee counts. **Does Traction Guest MCP work for multiple office locations?** It does. You can list all your office locations and filter invites or sign-ins by specific sites, making it great for managing large corporate campuses. **Can I batch-onboard new employees as hosts?** Yes, you can use the batch host tool to quickly add multiple new employees to your system. This is perfect for HR teams who need to update host lists for entire departments at once. **What happens if I need to change a visitor's appointment?** You can just tell your agent to update the invite. It can change the host, the time, or the visitor's name without you having to find the specific record in a dashboard. **How do I get a Traction Guest API key and where do I find it?** Log in to your Traction Guest account, go to the **Developer Portal** at us.tractionguest.com/dev_portal, and generate a new API key. Copy the key immediately and paste it into the API key field below. This key authenticates all API v3 requests to https://us.tractionguest.com/api/v3. **What's the difference between invites, sign-ins, and registrations?** **Invites** are scheduled visitor appointments created in advance (future visits). **Sign-ins** are actual check-in records when visitors arrive on-site (current/past visits). **Registrations** are pre-registration records awaiting conversion to invites. The workflow is: Registration → Invite → Sign-in (check-in) → Sign-out. **Can I create multiple hosts at once for bulk employee onboarding?** Yes! Use the `create_hosts_batch` tool with an array of host objects. Each host needs firstName, lastName, and email. This is much more efficient than creating hosts one at a time, especially when onboarding new teams or importing from HR systems. **How do I manage group visits like tours and training sessions?** Use `create_group_visit` to schedule a group event with name, date, expected attendees, host, and location. Then use `list_group_visits` to see all upcoming group events. You can update or delete group visits as needed. Each group visit tracks expected vs actual attendance.
