About Kisi MCP Server
Connect your Kisi account to any AI agent to automate your physical access control and security workflows. This MCP server enables your agent to interact with locks (doors), manage users, and trigger remote unlocks directly from natural language interfaces.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Kisi tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 9 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
What you can do
- Remote Unlocking — Trigger remote unlock commands for any managed door instantly
- Device Oversight — List all locks and retrieve real-time status (online/offline, locked/unlocked)
- User Management — List organization users and retrieve complete profile information
- Access Control Audit — Query groups, places, and role assignments to monitor permissions
- Location Tracking — List and inspect physical places configured in your Kisi environment
The Kisi MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
