- Remote Unlocking — Trigger remote unlock commands for any managed door instantly
- Device Oversight — List all locks and retrieve real-time status (online/offline, locked/unlocked)
- User Management — List organization users and retrieve complete profile information
- Access Control Audit — Query groups, places, and role assignments to monitor permissions
- Location Tracking — List and inspect physical places configured in your Kisi environment

Frequently asked questions
How do I perform a remote unlock using the agent?
Use the unlock_door tool with the unique ID of the lock you wish to open. Make sure the authenticated user has the necessary permissions for that door.
Can I see if a door is currently online?
Yes, the list_locks and get_lock_details tools return the real-time connectivity status (online/offline) for every device.
Is it possible to list all users in my organization?
Absolutely. Use the list_users tool to retrieve a comprehensive list of all members registered in your Kisi organization.
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.
