How to Use the Kisi MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline write code that interacts with my Kisi locks?

Yes, Cline can write scripts that call unlockkisilock or getkisilock based on local triggers. It handles the API integration, writes the necessary fetch requests, and tests the code inside your terminal. You get a working automation script without writing boilerplate.

Q: How does Cline handle emergency Kisi lockdowns?

When you order a lockdown, Cline calls listkisiplaces to identify your active offices. It then runs lockdownkisilock on every door associated with those places. The agent confirms the lockdown status and reports back to you.

Let Cline build custom security dashboards, audit user permissions, and handle physical door operations directly from VS Code.

Build Custom Security Tools with this MCP Server

The `list_kisi_locks` tool feeds live hardware data straight to your VS Code workspace. You can tell Cline to write a local monitoring dashboard, and it will pull active door states to populate the UI. Once the code is written, Cline uses `check_kisi_status` to verify the connection is live. The agent handles the file creation, imports, and API integrations in one single run.

Instant Physical Security Actions

The `unlock_kisi_lock` tool allows your coding agent to open specific doors during testing. You do not need to leave your keyboard or open a separate mobile app to let a vendor in. During an incident, the agent triggers `lockdown_kisi_lock` to secure vulnerable entry points. It uses `get_kisi_lock` to confirm the secure state of the hardware immediately after the command runs.

Automated Directory Auditing

The `list_kisi_users` tool pulls your entire physical user database into VS Code. This MCP integration lets Cline analyze this list against your repository's code owners to find discrepancies. By calling `list_kisi_groups` and `get_kisi_user`, the agent identifies legacy accounts that still have building access. It generates a clean Markdown report of who needs their credentials revoked.
