How to Use the Kisi MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents negotiate a Kisi lock state change?

One agent calls getkisilock to check if a door is open. It shares this state in the AutoGen chat, allowing other agents to debate if they should call unlockkisilock based on current office hours.

Q: Can I have a dedicated AutoGen agent monitor Kisi API health?

Yes, you can assign an AutoGen agent to periodically run checkkisistatus. If the API goes offline, that agent alerts the rest of the group to pause all physical access commands.

Q: How do AutoGen agents look up which physical Kisi places are managed?

The AutoGen agents call listkisiplaces to get a list of active locations. They use these location IDs to narrow down which specific doors they are discussing in the chat.

Let your AutoGen agents debate physical security events and coordinate Kisi lock controls through this MCP Server.

Debate Security Incidents in AutoGen

During an AutoGen session, one agent pulls the lock details using `get_kisi_lock` while another checks the user's history with `get_kisi_user`. This coordinates your response when a security alert occurs. They discuss whether the access pattern looks suspicious before deciding to execute a command. This prevents accidental lockouts by requiring multiple AutoGen agent perspectives to agree on the situation.

Coordinate Emergency Lockdowns

This MCP Server allows a dedicated safety agent in AutoGen to run `lockdown_kisi_lock` if a consensus is reached during an active incident. Running a lockdown shouldn't rely on a single point of failure. While the safety agent secures the doors, an AutoGen monitoring agent tracks the system status using `check_kisi_status` to ensure the command succeeded. They work together to verify the physical perimeter is safe.

Multi-Agent Access Provisioning

Onboarding discussions are managed directly through the MCP Server in AutoGen. An HR agent can request access for a new hire, prompting a security agent to check active groups using `list_kisi_groups` to find the safest match. Once they agree on the correct permissions, the system updates the directory. The AutoGen agents use `list_kisi_users` to verify the new account was created with the exact access levels they negotiated.

Setup guide

Set up Kisi MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Kisi tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="Kisi_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Kisi data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="Kisi_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Kisi data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Kisi MCP in AutoGen

One agent calls `get_kisi_lock` to check if a door is open. It shares this state in the AutoGen chat, allowing other agents to debate if they should call `unlock_kisi_lock` based on current office hours.

Yes, you can assign an AutoGen agent to periodically run `check_kisi_status`. If the API goes offline, that agent alerts the rest of the group to pause all physical access commands.

You define the consensus rules in your AutoGen agent group. If one agent tries to run `unlock_kisi_lock` but the safety agent demands a `lockdown_kisi_lock`, the safety agent's command takes absolute priority.

The AutoGen agents call `list_kisi_places` to get a list of active locations. They use these location IDs to narrow down which specific doors they are discussing in the chat.

Your user directory data is handled strictly within an encrypted, zero-trust transport layer during AutoGen sessions. We do not store or cache user lists, group profiles, or lock event logs, keeping your physical security setup private.
