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.

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 7 tools from BoxLock through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries BoxLock, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

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 OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
