Why Use Claude Code with the Honeywell Forge MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Honeywell Forge through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Honeywell Forge tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Honeywell Forge + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Honeywell Forge MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Honeywell Forge tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Honeywell Forge nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Honeywell Forge outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Honeywell Forge status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Honeywell Forge MCP Tools for Claude Code (11)
These 11 tools become available when you connect Honeywell Forge to Claude Code via MCP:
acknowledge_alarm
Acknowledgment does not resolve or clear the underlying condition—it simply records that a human has reviewed the alarm and is aware of it. This updates the alarm state from "unacknowledged" to "acknowledged" in the Forge audit log, which is important for compliance and incident-tracking workflows. Provide the exact alarm ID as returned by get_alarms. Use this during incident response to track which alarms have been seen by the operations team. Acknowledge an active alarm in Honeywell Forge
get_alarms
Alarms cover a wide range of conditions: security breaches (door forced, tailgating), fire and life safety (smoke detector activation, pull station), HVAC faults, and system health warnings. Each alarm record includes severity level, timestamp, source device, description, and acknowledgment status. Optionally filter by building_id to scope results to a single site. Use this to triage active incidents, audit historical events, or identify recurring fault patterns. List active and historical alarms across all buildings or a specific building
get_building_details
Returns comprehensive metadata including HVAC zones, floor plans, linked subsystems (access control, fire life safety, video surveillance), energy targets, and operating schedules. Use this when you need a deep-dive view of a single site before performing operations like checking alarms or querying energy usage. Get detailed information about a specific Honeywell Forge building
get_door_status
The response includes whether the door is currently open or closed, locked or unlocked, and any active fault conditions such as "door held open" or "forced open". This is a read-only, point-in-time snapshot—use it to verify the physical state of a door before granting access or investigating a security event. Get the real-time status of a specific door or access point
get_energy_usage
Returns aggregated consumption data including total kWh, cost estimates, demand peaks, and breakdowns by subsystem (HVAC, lighting, plug loads). Metrics may be presented as time-series data points with timestamps, allowing trend analysis and comparison against energy budgets. Use this to monitor sustainability KPIs, identify wasteful consumption patterns, or prepare energy audit reports for facility managers. Get energy consumption data for a specific building
get_temperature_data
Returns data points including zone temperature, setpoint targets, humidity levels, and HVAC equipment status (compressor running, valve position, fan speed). This data is essential for thermal comfort analysis, energy optimization, and proactive maintenance—such as identifying zones that consistently deviate from setpoints or detecting equipment degradation before failure. Use this to diagnose comfort complaints or validate HVAC scheduling changes. Get temperature and HVAC sensor data for a specific building
list_access_points
An access point represents a physical entry device—door, gate, turnstile, or barrier—managed by the Forge access control subsystem. Each record includes the access point ID, name, current lock state, door status (open/closed/forced), assigned access level, and the zone it belongs to. Use this to audit physical security surfaces before running lock/unlock commands or investigating door-forced alarm events. List all access control points (doors, gates, turnstiles) for a building
list_buildings
Each record contains the building identifier, name, address, operational status, and metadata such as time zone and total floor area. Use this tool as the entry point for any building-centric workflow—once you have the building ID you can drill down into access points, alarms, energy metrics, or video feeds. List all buildings registered in Honeywell Forge
list_video_feeds
Each record represents a camera or NVR channel with metadata including camera name, location within the building, stream URL (RTSP or HLS), resolution, current online/offline status, and recording mode (continuous, motion-triggered, scheduled). Use this to discover which cameras are available for live viewing or forensic review, and to map camera IDs to physical locations before correlating video with alarm events. List available video surveillance feeds for a building
lock_door
The door will immediately engage its locking mechanism and transition to a secured state. Only authorized credentials holders can override this lock via normal badge or PIN access. Use this when securing a building after hours, during a lockdown event, or to enforce temporary access restrictions. Confirm the door identity with list_access_points before executing. Lock a specific door or access point in Honeywell Forge
unlock_door
The door will disengage its lock and enter a free-access state until explicitly re-locked or returned to its scheduled access control mode. Use this for emergency egress, visitor accommodation, or maintenance access. Always verify the correct access point ID before unlocking to avoid unintended security gaps. Unlock a specific door or access point in Honeywell Forge
