Openscreen MCP. Track assets and manage codes with your AI agent.

Your AI client can handle dynamic QR code management and asset tracking right out of the box using this server. You'll get direct access to tools that let you build, track, and update physical assets without ever touching a printer or spreadsheet.

When you need to start tracking something new, your agent uses create_asset_with_qr. This function doesn't just make a barcode; it first creates a new asset record in the system, and then it generates the corresponding, trackable QR code linked directly to that data. If you want to check on an existing piece of gear or product, you can use get_asset with a specific asset ID to pull all its metadata instantly.

For managing your overall tracking program, you'll first need context about the container itself. To see every Openscreen project available to you, call list_projects. Once you know which project you're working in, use get_project to get detailed information on that entire project container. You can then pull a full roster of all assets contained within a specific project using list_assets, or if you want to see just the QR codes themselves, list_qr_codes handles that for you.

Need to know what a single code is supposed to do? get_qr_code lets you pull the exact parameters and details associated with one specific QR code identifier. If you're running into issues or need to see what the asset data looks like without listing everything, you can use get_asset again, supplying only the designated asset ID.

The tracking part is where it gets good. To track history for any given barcode, your agent just calls list_scans. This function returns a detailed list of every scan event associated with that QR code identifier—you get the exact location data, the device type used at the time, and precise timestamps for each historical read.

Managing the codes themselves is easy. If you need to change what a dynamic QR code means—what its underlying purpose or 'intent' is—but you don't want to reprint the physical label, you use update_qr_code_code_intent. This function updates the definition of the code programmatically, keeping the asset functional without any physical changes.

You also get full visibility into every single QR code within a project using list_qr_codes, and if you need to see all assets associated with a specific container, list_assets handles that list for you.

It's simple: your AI client uses these functions to read the system state (get_project, list_projects), build new records (create_asset_with_qr), check details (get_asset, get_qr_code), see who scanned what and where (list_scans), or adjust the code's meaning without a reprint (update_qr_code_intent). You don't have to juggle multiple systems; you just point your agent at the tool, and it handles the whole workflow.
