Build live BoxLock monitoring UIs inside Cline

The `list_locks` tool gives Cline the raw data needed to populate custom React or Vue dashboards. This MCP Server lets your agent fetch the current state of every physical lockbox in your fleet and writes the frontend code to display them. Cline writes the component, imports the API endpoints, and runs local tests to verify the layout. You see the live lock status on your screen without leaving your workspace.

Audit organization access logs

The `list_users` tool allows your agent to pull your entire team directory from the security system. Cline cross-references this list with active lock assignments to find unassigned hardware. It then runs `list_activities` to match physical openings with specific user accounts. This lets you pinpoint which keys or barcodes accessed a location during off-hours.

Manage active delivery barcodes

The `list_barcodes` tool lets Cline inspect all credentials currently authorized to open your physical lockboxes. Your agent scans this list to find duplicates or unassigned delivery codes. It uses this information to clean up your security database. Cline drafts the necessary API calls to prune old codes, keeping your physical entry points secure.
