What is the HID Origo MCP Server?
Connect your HID Origo platform to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud-based identity and physical access management through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Mobile Identity Oversight — List and retrieve details for all issued mobile identities (digital cards) and monitor their activation status.
- User & Group Management — Access lists of users and identity groups defined in your tenant to ensure correct access policies.
- Enrollment Automation — Send enrollment invitations for mobile identities directly from the chat interface.
- Reader & Hardware Monitoring — List and monitor the status of IoT readers and door controllers connected to your organization.
- Credential Tracking — Manage both physical and digital credentials linked to your users in a unified view.
- Security Auditing — Retrieve system audit logs to monitor administrative actions and access events.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your HID Origo Client ID, Client Secret, and Organization ID
- Start managing your access control from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my HID Origo Client ID and Secret?
Log in to the HID Origo Management Portal, navigate to the System Accounts section, and create a new system account. You will be provided with a Client ID and Client Secret for that account.
What is the Organization ID?
The Organization ID is a unique UUID that identifies your company in the HID Origo cloud. You can find it in the Management Portal under the Organization settings or profile section.
Can I send mobile identity invitations via the AI agent?
Yes! Use the create_enrollment_invitation tool. You must provide a JSON string containing the userId and the partNumber for the mobile identity you wish to issue.
Is the integration secure for access control data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
