  3. 03Lock or unlock devices
  4. 04Create users and time-limited guests
  5. 05Grant or revoke door access

MCP support

Exposes RemoteLock account, device, guest and access operations as MCP tools. Read tools retrieve account and activity data; write tools change lock states or access permissions.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details

From the project 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:
{
  "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.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
