Connect Kisi to your AI client to control physical access points. Once linked, your agent can find specific locks and trigger them on command.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I unlock doors using my AI?

Yes. You can tell your agent to find specific locks and trigger them to open. This gives you direct control over entry points through your chat interface.

Access outcomes

What you can do

Your agent handles the hardware requests through these specific outcomes.

REMOTE

Instant entry

The AI triggers the lock immediately. You get a door opened without needing to use a physical keypad or a separate mobile app.

INVENTORY

Lock visibility

The agent pulls a list of your Kisi hardware. You'll see exactly which doors are available to control.

DETAILS

Lock status

Your AI checks the state of a specific door. You can confirm if a lock is ready for a command.

HUMAN

Manual control

The AI cannot fix broken hardware or handle physical keys. You still manage physical maintenance yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent translates your text into specific hardware actions.

  1. Find the lock

    The agent scans your Kisi setup to identify the specific entrance you mentioned.

    list_kisi_locks

  2. Check lock details

  3. Open the door

    The agent sends the command to release the lock.

    unlock_kisi_lock

  4. Verify state

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI lock a door?

    No. The current tools only allow for unlocking doors.

  • 02

    Can I add new users through the AI?

    No. This connector only manages the locks themselves, not user permissions.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which door to open?

    It uses the specific names you have assigned to your locks in your Kisi account.

  • 04

    Does the AI need a separate app to work?

    No. Once you connect the MCP, your agent communicates directly with the Kisi API.

  • 05

    Can the AI see if a door is physically propped open?

    No. The tools only report on the electronic state of the lock.
