How to Use the HID Origo MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf automate HID Origo user enrollment?

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains commands. It uses listidentityusers to find someone, then createenrollmentinvitation to send the mobile key invite, and listidentityinvitations to confirm it was sent. It's a single goal, executed as a multi-step plan.

Q: Can I use this MCP server to see who accessed a door with HID Origo and Windsurf?

Yes. You can ask Cascade to pull the getauditlogevents for a specific reader ID. First, find the reader with listaccessreaders, then use its ID to filter the audit log for all recent access events.

Q: Can Windsurf manage physical cards in HID Origo, not just mobile keys?

Absolutely. The listphysicalcredentials tool lets Cascade pull a full list of all physical cards and fobs assigned to users in your HID Origo system. You can ask it to find a specific user's card or list all of them.

Let Windsurf's Cascade agent manage HID Origo mobile identities, from user lookup to enrollment, all in one autonomous flow.

Onboard a New User, Hands-Free

Tell Cascade to provision a mobile key for a new employee. It will find the right person using `list_identity_users`, then automatically trigger an enrollment email with `create_enrollment_invitation`. You don't have to run each command yourself. Cascade confirms the process by checking the status with `list_identity_invitations`. If something looks off, it can pull the full `get_audit_log_events` to show you exactly what happened, step-by-step. This is how you automate onboarding with this MCP connection without losing the audit trail.

Run Security Audits with Windsurf

Ask Cascade to "check all active mobile keys for the engineering group." It will first use `list_identity_groups` to find the right group ID, then cross-reference that with `list_mobile_identities` to see every active credential. You get a clean list of who has access. This isn't just a data dump; it's a specific answer to a security question. Cascade can even pull `get_user_details` for any identity that looks suspicious, giving you the full context without manual lookups.

Map Your Physical Access Points

Need a full inventory of your office's hardware? Just ask Cascade to list all your access points. It uses `list_access_readers` to pull every IoT reader and door controller connected to your HID Origo account. You get a complete list of hardware, which is useful for maintenance planning or security mapping. Cascade can also check `get_organization_info` to confirm the details of your HID Origo setup, all from a single prompt.
