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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Robin tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
