What you can do with this MCP connector
You connect your Estimote Cloud account to your AI agent and take full control of your beacon fleet and proximity data. You'll manage everything from device commissioning to detailed foot traffic analytics just by talking to your agent.
Inventory and Configure Beacons
List every beacon you've deployed, checking the MAC address, hardware type, battery level, and current settings for the whole fleet. You can also check a specific beacon's full configuration and status, including its power and firmware version. Need to adjust things? You can update a beacon's broadcasting power, advertising interval, or attached metadata tags.
When a device is retired, you permanently delete it from the cloud account using remove_beacon_device.
Map Physical Sites
Register new buildings, stores, or venues by giving them a name, address, and GPS coordinates. This lets you group beacons by physical location using create_physical_location and you can list all registered sites, showing their names, addresses, coordinates, and the count of beacons at each spot via list_physical_locations. You can also see all existing organizational tags using list_fleet_tags and assign an organizational tag to any beacon using assign_tag_to_beacon for targeted campaigns or filtering.
Read Live Sensor Data
Get real-time environmental readings (temperature, light, motion, pressure) from a specific beacon by calling get_beacon_telemetry.
Measure Visitor Flow
Pull aggregated visitor data, showing detection counts and unique visitor estimates over a specified time range using get_device_analytics.
Organize Devices by Tag
Use list_beacon_devices to inventory the entire fleet and check firmware versions. You can also retrieve all registered organizational tags with list_fleet_tags.
How It Works
Your AI client executes the tool call, pulling the data—like a list of devices or sensor readings—and presents the findings to you in plain language.
How Estimote MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the server and provide your Estimote App Token, which you find in the Estimote Cloud's app section.
- 2 Your AI agent connects and uses natural language to invoke a specific function, like listing devices or checking telemetry.
- 3 The server executes the function, pulls the data (e.g., a list of all beacons or a temperature reading), and returns the structured result to your agent.
The bottom line is you manage your entire physical asset infrastructure—from the device to the data—without ever leaving your chat client.
Who Is Estimote MCP For?
The retail operations manager who needs to know if a new display is drawing foot traffic, or the facility manager tracking HVAC performance across a multi-building campus. If your job involves understanding how people move through physical space or monitoring environmental conditions in large buildings, this is for you.
Uses get_device_analytics to measure visitor density in specific store zones or assign_tag_to_beacon to track seasonal promotions.
Uses get_beacon_telemetry to monitor temperature or air quality in HVAC zones, or list_physical_locations to audit site deployments.
Uses list_beacon_devices and get_beacon_details to debug firmware settings and verify sensor data streams.
What Changes When You Connect
- See real-time environmental data instantly. Instead of checking a dashboard for temperature or light, use
get_beacon_telemetryto ask your agent: 'What's the current temp at Aisle 5?' - Measure foot traffic without manual counts.
get_device_analyticspulls unique visitor estimates and dwell time distributions, letting you quantify engagement by tag or date range. - Audit your entire deployment. Run
list_beacon_devicesto get a complete inventory, including MAC addresses, firmware versions, and battery status across hundreds of beacons. - Organize complex sites efficiently. Use
create_physical_locationandassign_tag_to_beaconto map every beacon to a known store or zone, making analytics filtering simple. - Tweak device performance on the fly. Need to change a beacon's power or interval? Use
update_beacon_settingsto adjust parameters via the cloud shadow system without physical intervention. - Eliminate data silos. The server lets you link physical assets (
list_physical_locations) with live data (get_beacon_telemetry) and historical metrics (get_device_analytics) in one workflow.
Real-World Use Cases
The Seasonal Pop-Up Shop Audit
A retail manager needs to know if the new seasonal display is actually drawing crowds. They ask the agent to run get_device_analytics for the 'Holiday Display' tag from the last month. The agent processes the request, reports 1,500 unique visitors, and shows the peak hours, letting the manager decide if the display needs adjustment.
HVAC Performance Check
A facility engineer suspects a zone has poor air circulation. They use get_beacon_telemetry to check the temperature and barometric pressure in that specific area. The agent reports the data, allowing the engineer to confirm if the HVAC system is failing, rather than waiting for manual sensor reads.
Post-Renovation Site Mapping
An operations team is deploying beacons in a newly built wing. They first run create_physical_location for the new wing's coordinates. Then, they use list_beacon_devices and assign_tag_to_beacon to tag all newly deployed devices, ensuring the entire fleet is organized before analytics begin.
Decommissioning Old Hardware
A maintenance worker retires old beacons. Instead of manually logging them out of the system, they use remove_beacon_device to permanently remove the device from the cloud, keeping the records clean while the physical unit stays powered.
The Tradeoffs
Treating beacons as simple identifiers
A user only asks, 'List all beacons.' This provides a raw list of MAC addresses and UUIDs, but doesn't help them understand if the devices are grouped by location or if they have low batteries.
→
Start by running list_physical_locations to see where the devices are mapped. Then, use list_beacon_devices to check the battery status, and finally, use assign_tag_to_beacon to filter the results to only those in the 'West Wing' zone.
Assuming all sensors are active
A user asks for environmental data without specifying the beacon ID or location. The agent cannot run get_beacon_telemetry because it needs a target device ID to pull the sensor readings.
→
First, run list_beacon_devices to confirm the ID of the target beacon. Then, call get_beacon_telemetry using the specific device ID to pull the current temperature and light levels.
Overlooking device retirement
A user manually ignores old, unused beacons, leaving them in the system's record. This bloats the cloud account and confuses analytics.
→
When hardware is retired, always use remove_beacon_device to delete it from the cloud. This keeps your record clean and ensures future analytics are accurate.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your workflow relies on correlating physical assets (beacons) with dynamic data (telemetry, foot traffic) and organized geography. You need to know where and how something is happening in a physical space.
Don't use this if you only need to store static data (e.g., a simple list of names) or if your data source is completely separate from physical space. For pure message sending, use a dedicated messaging service; for raw data storage, use a time-series database directly.
If you need to know the status of a specific device, use get_beacon_details. If you need to know the performance over a week, use get_device_analytics. The key is choosing the right tool for the time dimension.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Tracking physical assets and location data used to be a nightmare of dashboards and spreadsheets.
Manually gathering data is a mess. You have to jump between the beacon dashboard, the location management system, and the analytics portal. You download a CSV for device inventory, then you open a separate map view to see where the beacons are physically placed, and then you export a third file for visitor counts. It's three different tools, three different logins, and hours of copy-pasting just to get a single picture.
Now, you tell your AI agent to 'Show me the status of the West Wing beacons.' The agent runs `list_beacon_devices` and `list_physical_locations` behind the scenes. It pulls the device data, maps it to the site, and gives you one clean, actionable summary. No clicking, no CSVs.
Estimote MCP Server: Monitor beacon fleet health and location data.
You no longer have to log in to the Estimote portal, download a report, and then manually update the status in your internal CMDB. You simply ask your agent to 'List all beacons with less than 20% battery.' The agent executes `list_beacon_devices` and filters the results and sends you a clean list, right in the chat.
Common Questions About Estimote MCP
How do I use the Estimote MCP Server to check device battery levels? +
Run list_beacon_devices to get a paginated list of all beacons. The output includes the current battery percentage and the device's MAC address, which you can then use for other tools.
What is the difference between `get_beacon_telemetry` and `get_device_analytics`? +
get_beacon_telemetry gives you real-time environmental data (temperature, light) from a single device. get_device_analytics gives you aggregated historical data (unique visitor counts, dwell time) over a date range.
Can I use Estimote MCP Server to track multiple physical sites? +
Yes. You must first use create_physical_location to register the new site. Then, you use list_physical_locations to list all sites and ensure your beacons are correctly assigned using assign_tag_to_beacon.
How do I update a beacon's settings using the Estimote MCP Server? +
You use update_beacon_settings and specify the device ID and the exact parameters you want to change (e.g., 'increase power to 10 dBm'). The changes are queued in the cloud shadow system.
How does `list_beacon_devices` help me inventory my entire beacon fleet? +
It returns a paginated list of all registered beacons. This output includes the MAC address, hardware type (Proximity/Location/Sticker), battery level, and firmware version, giving you a complete inventory of your deployed devices.
What is the difference between `assign_tag_to_beacon` and `list_fleet_tags`? +
You first use list_fleet_tags to see all existing organizational groups. Then, you use assign_tag_to_beacon to link a specific device to one or more of those existing tags, organizing your fleet for filtering.
If I need to analyze engagement by a specific zone, which tool should I use with `list_physical_locations`? +
Use get_device_analytics. You pass the location or tag ID from the physical location list into the analytics tool. This measures visitor counts, unique visitor estimates, and dwell time over a specified time period.
What is the process for permanently removing a beacon using `remove_beacon_device`? +
Running remove_beacon_device deletes the device from your cloud management system. Be aware this action is irreversible, though the physical beacon continues broadcasting. Use this only when decommissioning hardware.
Can my agent check the battery levels of all my beacons? +
Yes. Use the 'list_beacon_devices' tool. The agent retrieves the overarching inventory of your fleet, returning hardware types and precise battery levels for every registered device natively.
How do I update the advertising interval of a beacon via chat? +
Use the 'update_beacon_settings' tool. Provide the beacon identifier and a JSON object with the new settings (e.g., '{"settings": {"advertisingInterval": 300}}'). The changes are queued in the cloud shadow and synced automatically.
Can I see real-time temperature data from my beacons through the agent? +
Absolutely. Use the 'get_beacon_telemetry' tool. Your agent will fetch the most recent sensor readings, including temperature, light, and motion detection, directly from the beacon's cloud record.
