How to Use the Kisi MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf unlock doors using Kisi?

Yes. Cascade can execute the unlockdoor tool if your authenticated profile has the correct permissions. It requires an exact lock ID to trigger the hardware.

Audit access with the Kisi MCP Server

The Kisi MCP Server connects your IDE directly to your physical security infrastructure. You ask Cascade to run an audit on the main entrance, and it immediately calls `list_places` to find the correct facility ID. It doesn't stop there. Cascade autonomously chains that into `list_locks` to isolate the specific door. Then it runs `get_lock_details` to pull the current hardware status. You get a complete breakdown of the physical entry point without leaving your editor or manually clicking through a dashboard.

Chain user and role queries

Windsurf handles complex permission mapping by executing multiple queries in sequence. If a new engineering hire needs lab access, Cascade starts by firing `list_users` to grab their internal ID. Next, it pulls the current permission matrix using `list_access_groups` and `list_role_assignments`. It cross-references the user profile against existing groups to tell you exactly which roles need updating. You skip the manual cross-referencing entirely.

Trigger physical hardware

You can physically open doors from your code environment. Tell Cascade a contractor is stuck at the loading dock, and it executes `unlock_door` to grant immediate entry. Before firing the hardware command, it can verify your own authorization level via `get_my_profile`. This ensures the agent only acts within the bounds of your existing Kisi administrative privileges.

Setup guide

Set up Kisi MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Kisi MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Kisi payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Kisi tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Kisi MCP in Windsurf

Open your IDE settings and navigate to the Cascade tab. You can use the built-in MCP Marketplace for a one-click install or manually edit your mcp_config.json file. Hit refresh in the MCP panel to load the tools.

Yes. Cascade can execute the `unlock_door` tool if your authenticated profile has the correct permissions. It requires an exact lock ID to trigger the hardware.

Cascade chains operations autonomously. Instead of manually clicking through places, locks, and users, you state a goal. The agent figures out the required API calls and executes them in order.

It works perfectly. Cascade reads your prompt, realizes it needs physical context, and plans a sequence of `list_places` and `list_locks` before taking action.

The server processes raw user IDs, email addresses, and physical access logs. We isolate these operations within a strict V8 sandbox environment. Your infrastructure tokens remain ephemeral and are never stored outside the active session.
