Parklio PMS MCP Tools for LlamaIndex (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Parklio PMS to LlamaIndex via MCP:
create_gateway
Requires lot_id, name, and type (e.g., entry_barrier, exit_camera, lpr_reader). Use this when installing new physical hardware. Register a new hardware gateway (barrier, reader) to a parking lot
get_activity_logs
Optional lot_id filter. Use this for security auditing and operational troubleshooting. View system activity and audit logs
get_lot_details
Get detailed configuration and statistics for a specific parking lot
get_system_status
Use this for a high-level operational check. Get the overall health and operational status of the Parklio system
list_displays
Useful for auditing what drivers see when entering lots. List digital display screens deployed in parking lots
list_gateways
Use this to audit hardware health and locate offline devices. List all hardware gateways (barriers, cameras) connected to Parklio
list_lots
Essential for discovering available lots before managing hardware. List all managed parking lots in the Parklio system
pms_login
Returns an authentication token valid for subsequent API calls. Use this to refresh your session token before making other requests. Authenticate with the Parklio Parking Management System to get a token
run_gateway_operation
Common operations: open_barrier, close_barrier, reboot, reset_error. Use this for remote troubleshooting or manual override of barriers. Execute a remote operation on a specific gateway device
update_display_message
Use for maintenance alerts ("Lot Full", "System Maintenance", "Welcome to VIP Parking"). Update the text shown on a digital display screen in a parking lot
