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.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Robin tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
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).
