About Brivo MCP Server
Connect your Brivo Access account to any AI agent and orchestrate your physical security, facility management, and user provisioning workflows through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Brivo tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Door Control & Status — List all access points, check their live status (open/closed/locked), and trigger momentary unlocks directly from your workspace.
- User Provisioning — List and retrieve detailed profiles for all users and manage their access groups and credentials.
- Event Monitoring — Retrieve real-time or historical access events and security alarms to ensure facility safety.
- Credential Oversight — List and audit physical and digital credentials (cards, mobile passes) assigned to users.
- Schedule Coordination — Access time schedules used for automated locking and unlocking of your facility.
The Brivo MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
