Parklio PMS MCP. Remote control of barriers, displays, and cameras.

Parklio PMS connects your AI client straight to the smart parking hardware. You can use it to talk to the system naturally—your agent handles all the complex API calls for everything from barrier gates and digital displays to LPR cameras. Before you do anything else, your first move is always logging in; you'll run the pms_login tool, which authenticates with the PMS and gives you a fresh token.

You need that token before your agent can send out any commands or pull down any data.

Discovery and Inventory
To see what you’re working with, you start by listing the locations. Running list_lots shows you every single parking lot ID managed within the Parklio ecosystem. If you need deep details on one specific site, use get_lot_details; this pulls up that lot's current operational statistics and specific configuration data.

You can also get a full list of all installed digital screens using list_displays. For physical hardware, running list_gateways gives you an inventory and the live status—online or offline—of every gateway unit, including barriers and cameras, across all those lots.

System Health Checks
When you need to know if the whole setup is breathing right, use get_system_status. This checks the high-level operational metrics for the entire Parklio network. If you suspect a specific piece of hardware is acting up—like one particular camera or barrier—you can run list_gateways again, and then check that unit's status to pinpoint the problem.

Direct Hardware Control
This is where you get hands-on. You don’t have to use the main dashboard; your agent lets you talk straight to the hardware. To troubleshoot or manually operate a specific gateway device, run run_gateway_operation. This sends direct commands—like opening a barrier, closing it, or even rebooting the unit entirely.

If you're setting up new gear, you can use create_gateway to register a brand-new physical device, such as a camera or a barrier, and link it right into a specific parking lot.

Signage and Messaging
Need to warn people that the entrance is closed for maintenance? Use update_display_message. This tool lets your agent change the text visible on any connected digital sign immediately. You first run list_displays to see which screens are available, then you send the new message via update_display_message.

Auditing and Logging
If something goes wrong or you need to prove who did what, you check the logs. Use get_activity_logs; this retrieves historical records of every single system event and action that happened—you can track barrier movements, unauthorized access attempts, and any other critical action for security auditing.

This set of tools lets your AI client give you complete control over entry/exit points without needing to click through multiple menus. You're managing the whole operation using simple commands.
