Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 7 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Tracking Physical Deliveries Is a Pain Point., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway
Right now, verifying delivery status means jumping between the carrier app, checking local signage, calling site managers, and then logging into a separate lock management portal. You end up in a cycle of clicking tabs, manually comparing physical notes to digital records, and guessing if the battery on the remote lock is about to die.
With this MCP, you just ask your agent: 'Did the package arrive at Site B? And what's the status?' The system pulls data from the locks themselves, giving you a single answer that accounts for both physical access and digital status. It’s immediate certainty.
BoxLock MCP Gives You Total Control Over Access Management
You eliminate the need for multiple logins. Instead of having to run a list of devices, then manually check their status in another report, your agent uses list_locks and get_lock together to give you one consolidated view.
The difference is that you move from reactive damage control—'Oh no, we don't know who opened the dock door.'—to proactive oversight. You manage physical security decisions using simple conversational commands.
What your AI can actually do with this
This connector lets you treat your physical access points—the smart lockboxes at loading docks or remote sites—like another data source inside your agent. You can manage the entire lifecycle of a delivery, from checking if all locks are online to authorizing temporary access for maintenance crews. Need to know which lock needs new batteries? Just ask.
Want to track who opened a package last night and what asset barcode they scanned? Your AI handles it. By connecting BoxLock through Vinkius, you bring real-time physical security data into your natural conversation flow. It’s no longer about checking dashboards; it's about asking your agent to coordinate the entire operation for you.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is you talk to your agent, and it talks directly to the smart locks on site.
Subscribe to the BoxLock MCP on Vinkius.
Retrieve your API Key (Bearer Token) from your BoxLock Control dashboard under Developer API.
Connect this MCP in your preferred AI client. You can then tell your agent to perform complex physical security tasks using natural language.
Who is this actually for?
This MCP is for facility managers and logistics directors who are tired of manually logging into multiple dashboards just to check if a delivery dock lock works or who opened it last. It’s built for people whose job requires coordinating physical movement with digital records.
Uses the MCP to instantly authorize temporary package access and monitor asset scans during high-volume deliveries.
Checks lock battery health across multiple sites and manages worker permissions without leaving their main workspace.
Automates the auditing of physical access events, retrieving detailed historical logs to prove compliance or investigate tampering alerts.
What Changes When You Connect
Stop wasting time checking lock status. Use list_locks to instantly check the battery health and connectivity of all smart locks across your whole facility.
Maintain a perfect record of goods movement by using list_barcodes and accessing asset directories, ensuring every item has a trackable digital ledger.
Never manage access manually again. With press_to_open, you authorize temporary entry for specific workers remotely when needed.
Simplify incident response. By calling list_activities, your agent pulls detailed audit logs, showing exactly who opened what and when.
Keep operations running smoothly by using list_locations to coordinate security infrastructure across multiple physical sites.
See it in action
Investigating a Missing Shipment
A package went missing from the loading dock. Instead of checking CCTV, I ask my agent to check the last five access events for that lock using list_activities. The logs show an unauthorized scan attempt 3 hours ago, pointing directly to the area where the shipment was staged.
Onboarding a New Contractor
A new vendor needs temporary access to three different site locations next week. I use list_locations first to confirm all sites are mapped, then ask my agent to authorize access via press_to_open for the specific worker ID and time window.
Checking Compliance Status
I need proof that our system is compliant. I tell my agent to list all users and cross-reference them against the active barcodes to ensure every person who needs access has a valid, listed account.
Daily Morning Ops Checkup
Before opening for deliveries, I prompt my agent to list_locks. It immediately returns a summary that 'Front Gate' is low on battery and 'Receiving Dock B' needs maintenance, allowing me to fix the physical issues before they happen.
The honest tradeoffs
Assuming local knowledge
Manually checking a single lock's status by going into its specific dashboard. This is tedious and doesn't tell you about other locks or general site health.
Use list_locks to check the status of all devices in one go, then use get_lock only if your agent needs deep details on a single unit.
Confusing inventory with history
Only looking at the current directory of barcodes without knowing who scanned them or when. You know what exists, but not how it was used.
Always pair list_barcodes with calling list_activities to see a complete audit trail: what barcode is active and who last scanned it.
Over-relying on basic API calls
Calling the 'list all' function multiple times in sequence, resulting in fragmented information that needs manual stitching together.
Ask your agent to coordinate a complex request: 'List all locks and for each one, check the battery level.' The AI handles the multi-step process automatically.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your core problem involves coordinating physical access with digital record keeping. You need to know who did what, when, and on which specific lock. If you only care about general package tracking data (like a shipment manifest), you might use a simple messaging integration. However, if the success of the delivery relies on opening a physical smart box at a remote site—that's when this MCP is required. Don't try to manage your entire company directory using list_users; that's better handled by HR software. This tool is purely for physical security and logistics operations.
Questions you might have
How does BoxLock MCP handle multiple sites? +
You can list_locations to map all your facilities, and then use list_locks to gather status updates from every single site simultaneously. It treats the entire network as one cohesive unit.
Can I use BoxLock MCP for more than just package drops? +
Yes. You can track assets, access control logs, and list users for any operational purpose, including facility maintenance or internal inventory audits.
Does calling press_to_open require a key? +
No physical keys are needed. The function simulates the button press remotely after you have authorized temporary access through your AI client.
What is the difference between list_activities and get_lock? +
list_activities generates a full history log of all events, while get_lock provides current metadata about the lock itself, like battery level or last connection time.
Does BoxLock MCP support multiple types of barcodes? +
Yes. It allows you to access directories and trackable assets using list_barcodes, supporting your entire digital ledger of physical goods.
