How to Use the BoxLock MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK handle BoxLock barcodes automatically?

Yes, your agent uses listbarcodes to retrieve active identifiers. It checks these against your shipment data to verify incoming packages.

Q: Does this MCP Server log user access IDs?

It exposes listusers to track who has permission to operate the locks. This data is handled in memory and never persisted in an insecure way.

Secure package deliveries by connecting BoxLock to your OpenAI Agents SDK project for automated, verified access control.

Remote Access Control with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent triggers `press_to_open` to remotely unlock your hardware. It handles the physical verification of delivery carriers in real-time. This MCP Server provides the interface for your agent to execute commands safely. You avoid manual oversight while maintaining strict entry logs.

Audit Activity Logs via OpenAI Agents SDK

Call `list_activities` to pull the precise history of every package drop-off. Your agent parses these logs to detect patterns or missed deliveries. You'll get an immediate view of site status without digging through external dashboards. It turns raw log data into actionable insights for your agent system.

Manage Hardware Inventory with OpenAI Agents SDK

Use `list_locks` and `list_locations` to map your entire physical infrastructure. Your agent keeps an updated state of where every device resides. This setup ensures your agent knows exactly which hardware to target for a specific command. It prevents errors caused by outdated local records.

Setup guide

Set up BoxLock MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all BoxLock tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives BoxLock tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate BoxLock tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="BoxLock Agent",
            instructions="You have access to BoxLock tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
