Can the AI automatically invite participants or manage employee Microsoft/Google calendars via this plugin?

No, this integration interacts strictly with Robin's environment. The tool (`book_space`) targets space and desk allocation inside Robin's directory. Connecting events inside Robin to your external Exchange or Google Workspaces is a configuration you must perform manually via the Robin Web Dashboard outside of this AI tool's scope.

How do I check availability without locking the room immediately?

You can ask the assistant to query the system using the `list_space_events` tool indicating a specific space ID to read the calendar logic of reservations. Or better, state a date span and use the `get_free_busy` action passing multiple room IDs to detect scheduling conflicts instantly across multiple assets before issuing a separate booking command.

Can I cancel a desk reservation after it has been made?

Yes. Simply ask the assistant to cancel a specific reservation using `cancel_desk_reservation` with the reservation ID. The desk will be released immediately and made available for others to book.

About Robin MCP Server

Connect your conversational assistant directly to Robin, the leading workplace management platform. This integration transforms your AI into a virtual office manager, empowering you to explore office locations, check room availability, and book desks directly from a seamless chat interface.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Robin tools. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Manage Office Logistics — Ask your assistant to map out your global organizational offices (list_locations) and review deep details like capacity or address for a specific hub (get_location).
Book Meeting Rooms — See all bookable spaces (list_spaces) to find the perfect room for your meeting. Command the AI to check schedules (list_space_events, get_free_busy) and immediately book a room (book_space) for your team.
Reserve Hot Desks — Explore the floor plan to find available seats (list_desks) and immediately secure a hot desk for a specific date (reserve_desk). If plans change, simply tell the AI to cancel your booking (cancel_desk_reservation).

The Robin MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Robin + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Robin MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Robin tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
