About BoxLock MCP Server
Connect your BoxLock Control (v3) account to any AI agent and take full control of your physical security and automated supply chain logistics through natural conversation.
LangChain's ecosystem of 500+ components combines seamlessly with BoxLock through native MCP adapters. Connect 7 tools via Vinkius and use ReAct agents, Plan-and-Execute strategies, or custom agent architectures. with LangSmith tracing giving full visibility into every tool call, latency, and token cost.
What you can do
- Lock Orchestration — List and manage all BoxLock smart locks in your organization programmatically, retrieving detailed battery levels and high-fidelity connectivity status
- Remote Authorization — Programmatically authorize locks to be opened via physical button press for specific workers or maintenance windows in real-time
- Access Intelligence — Monitor real-time access events and retrieve detailed historical activity logs to maintain high-fidelity audit trails of all openings and scans
- Asset Tracking Architecture — Access complete directories of barcodes and trackable assets to maintain a perfectly coordinated digital ledger of physical goods
- Location Visibility — Retrieve complete directories of physical sites and groups to coordinate your infrastructure security directly through your agent
The BoxLock MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LangChain in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
