to Mastra AI
Learn how to connect BoxLock to Mastra AI and start using 7 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the BoxLock MCP Server?
Connect your BoxLock Control (v3) account to any AI agent and take full control of your physical security and automated supply chain logistics through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Lock Orchestration — List and manage all BoxLock smart locks in your organization programmatically, retrieving detailed battery levels and high-fidelity connectivity status
- Remote Authorization — Programmatically authorize locks to be opened via physical button press for specific workers or maintenance windows in real-time
- Access Intelligence — Monitor real-time access events and retrieve detailed historical activity logs to maintain high-fidelity audit trails of all openings and scans
- Asset Tracking Architecture — Access complete directories of barcodes and trackable assets to maintain a perfectly coordinated digital ledger of physical goods
- Location Visibility — Retrieve complete directories of physical sites and groups to coordinate your infrastructure security directly through your agent
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key (Bearer Token) from your BoxLock Control dashboard (Settings > Developer API)
3. Start managing your physical access from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual status checking of individual locks or missing delivery attempts. Your AI acts as your dedicated security operations and logistics coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Logistics Managers — instantly authorize delivery access and monitor asset scans using natural language commands
- Facility Operations — track lock battery health and manage worker permissions without leaving your workspace
- Security Teams — automate the auditing of physical access events and monitor tampering alerts through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my BoxLock API Key?
Log in to your BoxLock Control account, navigate to Settings > Developer API, and generate a new v3 Bearer Token.
Can I open a lock remotely via AI?
Yes! The press_to_open tool allows you to authorize the physical button on a lock to be active for a specific worker and reason programmatically.
How do I check battery levels?
Use the list_locks or get_lock tools to retrieve real-time metadata including current battery percentage and signal strength for every device.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
