How do I get a Traction Guest API key and where do I find it?

Log in to your Traction Guest account, go to the **Developer Portal** at us.tractionguest.com/dev_portal, and generate a new API key. Copy the key immediately and paste it into the API key field below. This key authenticates all API v3 requests to https://us.tractionguest.com/api/v3.

What's the difference between invites, sign-ins, and registrations?

**Invites** are scheduled visitor appointments created in advance (future visits). **Sign-ins** are actual check-in records when visitors arrive on-site (current/past visits). **Registrations** are pre-registration records awaiting conversion to invites. The workflow is: Registration → Invite → Sign-in (check-in) → Sign-out.

Can I create multiple hosts at once for bulk employee onboarding?

Yes! Use the `create_hosts_batch` tool with an array of host objects. Each host needs firstName, lastName, and email. This is much more efficient than creating hosts one at a time, especially when onboarding new teams or importing from HR systems.

How do I manage group visits like tours and training sessions?

Use `create_group_visit` to schedule a group event with name, date, expected attendees, host, and location. Then use `list_group_visits` to see all upcoming group events. You can update or delete group visits as needed. Each group visit tracks expected vs actual attendance.

Traction Guest + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Traction Guest 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 Traction Guest 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.
