What is the Traction Guest MCP Server?
Connect your Traction Guest (now Sign In Enterprise) account to any AI agent and take full control of visitor management workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Host Management — List, create, and batch-create hosts (employees) who receive and host visitors
- Location Management — List all office locations and inspect their configuration details
- Invite Management — Create, read, update, and delete visitor invites for scheduled arrivals
- Sign-in Tracking — List and manage visitor check-ins, monitor who is currently on-site
- Group Visits — Create and manage group appointments like tours, training sessions, and interviews
- Security Watchlists — List and create watchlists for visitor screening
- Audit Logging — Access audit logs for compliance and security tracking
- Registration Management — List pre-registered visitors and manage registration queues
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Traction Guest API key from the developer portal
- Start managing visitor operations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more navigating the Traction dashboard for every visitor action. Your AI acts as a dedicated receptionist or security coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Reception Teams — instantly create invites, check in visitors, and manage group appointments without opening the Traction dashboard
- Security Staff — monitor who is on-site, check watchlists, and review audit logs for compliance
- Facility Managers — track visitor activity across multiple locations and manage host assignments
- HR Teams — batch-create hosts for new employees and manage interview/tour scheduling

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
