About Envoy MCP Server
Connect your Envoy workplace account to any AI agent and take full control of your office management and visitor registration through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Envoy data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Visitor Orchestration — Register expected arrivals and deliver QR code invites seamlessly while mapping NDA tracking and security compliance natively
- Hot Desk Management — List all available desks and reserve physical workspace elements by committing exact timing payloads directly into the organizational map
- Meeting Room Control — Identify bookable rooms and spaces, calculating maximal volumetric tracking and reporting integration limits securely
- Logistical Tracking — Monitor incoming deliveries and package states, extracting pickup receipts and bypassing front desk barriers flawlessly
- Office Capacity Auditing — Measure real-time occupancy metrics and compute active relational loads to ensure workplace compliance bounding
- Employee Presence Monitoring — Analyze specific HR identity connections fetching log trails to validate physical office sign-ins across any date range
- Location Navigation — Iterate through global office locations and workspaces to parse precise geographic configurations and maximum capacity limits
The Envoy MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
