Overview

AI-generated overview

Read and manage RemoteLock smart-lock accounts: list locks and locations, create guest PINs, grant or revoke door access, and lock or unlock doors.

What you can do
  • Inspect the account, locations, devices and door groups, including battery, connectivity and lock state
  • Create permanent access users or time-limited guests with PINs or cards, and deactivate people
  • Grant or revoke access to a lock, door group or location, and list who can open a given door
  • Lock or unlock a specific door on request
  • Review notifications and event details such as unlocks, denied access, jams and low battery
  • Check usage, request a feature, or manage a paid subscription
When to use it
Useful for property managers, hosts or facilities teams who want an assistant to answer questions about lock status and access rights, issue or revoke guest codes, and lock or unlock doors without opening the RemoteLock dashboard.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint added by URL only; the server signs in through OAuth and the login page asks for RemoteLock credentials. No API key or Authorization header is configured in the client. A RemoteLock account with API access is needed; the free tier allows 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
Unlocking physically opens a door and is security-sensitive; the server asks for explicit user confirmation. Write tools create people, grant or revoke access, deactivate PINs and change lock state. Replies for new users and guests include the PIN. Paid plans are billed through Stripe checkout links, and cancellation gives no refund for the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open RemoteLock MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fremotelock/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

RemoteLock MCP by usefulapi

Connect a dedicated app for your API-enabled RemoteLock account.

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://remotelock.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http remotelock https://remotelock.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "remotelock": {      "url": "https://remotelock.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your RemoteLock credentials.

List locations

List the account's locations (properties/sites) with address and time zone. Use the ids to filter devices. GET /locations.

Get location

One location by id. GET /locations/{id}.

Parameterslocation_idrequired

remotelock_list_devices

List devices (locks)

List devices: locks, access-control doors, thermostats, etc., with name, model, battery/connectivity state, lock state and location. Filter by type (e.g. lock) or location. GET /devices.

Parametersidspagesorttypeper_pagelocation_id

remotelock_get_device

Get device

One device (lock) by id with its full state: connectivity, battery/power, lock state, auto-lock settings, model and location. GET /devices/{id}.

Parametersdevice_idrequired

remotelock_lock_device

Lock a lock

WRITE: sends the lock command to a lock (it locks the door). Locking an already locked door changes nothing. PUT /devices/{id}/lock.

Parametersdevice_idrequired

remotelock_unlock_device

Unlock a lock

WRITE, SECURITY-SENSITIVE: sends the unlock command to a lock, which physically unlocks the door. Only call it when the user explicitly asked to unlock this specific door, and set confirm to true. PUT /devices/{id}/unlock.

Parametersconfirmrequireddevice_idrequired

remotelock_list_access_persons

List access users and guests

List the people who can open doors: access users (permanent) and access guests (time-limited), with name, email, status, validity window and their PIN / card number. By default only current and upcoming people; pass status to include expired or deactivated. GET /access_persons.

Parameterspagesorttypestatusper_page

remotelock_get_access_person

Get access user or guest

One access user or guest by id, with status, validity window and PIN / card number. GET /access_persons/{id}.

Parametersaccess_person_idrequired

remotelock_create_access_user

Create a permanent access user

WRITE: creates a permanent access user (an employee, resident or owner) with a PIN and/or card. It creates the person only; use remotelock_grant_access to give them doors. The reply includes the PIN. Check remotelock_list_access_persons first to avoid duplicates. POST /access_persons.

Parameterspinnamerequiredemailphonedepartmentcard_numbergenerate_pin

remotelock_create_access_guest

Create a time-limited access guest

WRITE: creates an access guest whose PIN/card only works between starts_at and ends_at (local time of the lock). It creates the person only; use remotelock_grant_access to give them doors. The reply includes the PIN. POST /access_persons.

Parameterspinnamerequiredemailphoneends_atrequiredstarts_atrequiredcard_numbergenerate_pin

remotelock_deactivate_access_person

Parametersaccess_person_idrequired

remotelock_list_person_accesses

List a person's door access

Parameterspageper_pagedevice_idrequiredperson_type

remotelock_grant_access

Grant door access

WRITE: gives an access user or guest access to a lock, a door group or a location, so their PIN/card opens it. RemoteLock then syncs the code to the lock(s). Optionally limit the hours with an access schedule (access_schedule_id, for recurring daily hours) or override a guest's start/end time of day on this door. POST /access_persons/{id}/accesses.

Parametersaccessible_idrequiredguest_end_timeaccessible_typerequiredaccess_person_idrequiredguest_start_timeaccess_schedule_id

remotelock_revoke_access

Revoke door access

WRITE: removes one access grant (an id from remotelock_list_person_accesses), so the person's PIN/card no longer opens that door, door group or location. The person itself stays. Only do it when the user asked. DELETE /access_persons/{id}/accesses/{access_id}.

Parametersaccess_idrequiredaccess_person_idrequired

remotelock_list_door_groups

List door groups

List door groups (named sets of locks you can grant access to in one step). GET /groups.
