Script automated lock checks in Claude Code

The `get_lock` tool allows Claude Code to fetch the real-time status of any physical lockbox via your terminal. You can pipe this raw data directly into other command-line utilities using this MCP Server. This makes it easy to write cron jobs that check for low batteries or open latches. Your agent processes the raw terminal output and alerts you if a lock remains open.

Terminal-based barcode monitoring

The `list_barcodes` tool displays all active delivery credentials directly in your terminal window. Claude Code parses this list to find active codes matching specific carrier formats. You can command the agent to filter these codes by location or user. It runs the query, formats the text, and outputs a clean list to your stdout.

Remote latch control via CLI

The `press_to_open` tool lets you trigger a physical lock opening directly from a shell prompt. Your agent handles the transport details and sends the required JSON payload to the lockbox. This eliminates the need to open a web browser or mobile app to test hardware. You run one command, and the physical lock opens instantly.
