Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read RemoteLock devices and guests; manage door access and physically lock or unlock doors.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 20 things (tools) remotelock_get_account, remotelock_list_locations, remotelock_get_location, remotelock_list_devices …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remotelock": {
      "url": "https://remotelock.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }

}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "remotelock": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://remotelock.usefulapi.io/mcp"

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • remotelock_get_account

    The RemoteLock account these credentials belong to: name, plan limits and settings. Use it to confirm which account is connected. GET /account.

  • remotelock_list_locations

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

  • remotelock_get_location

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

  • remotelock_list_devices

    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.

  • remotelock_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}.

  • remotelock_lock_device

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

  • remotelock_unlock_device

    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.

  • remotelock_list_access_persons

    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.

  • remotelock_get_access_person

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

  • remotelock_create_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_per

  • remotelock_create_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.

  • remotelock_deactivate_access_person

    WRITE: deactivates an access user or guest, so their PIN/card stops working on every door. The person stays in the account (status deactivated) and is not deleted. Only do it when the user asked. PUT /access_persons/{id}/deactivate.

  • remotelock_list_person_accesses

    List the doors, door groups and locations one access user or guest can open, with sync state per device. GET /access_persons/{id}/accesses.

  • remotelock_list_device_accesses

    List the access users and guests who have access to one lock (and whether the PIN is synced to it). GET /devices/{id}/access_person_accesses.

  • remotelock_grant_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 s

  • remotelock_revoke_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}.

  • remotelock_list_door_groups

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

  • remotelock_list_group_items

    List the items (locks) that belong to one door group. GET /groups/{id}/items.

  • remotelock_list_notifications

    List notifications sent by notification subscriptions: each names the lock (publisher), the event type (unlocked, access_denied, jammed, power_level_low, ...) and an event_id. Only events that match a subscription appear. Get details with remotelock_get_event. GET /notifications.

  • remotelock_get_event

    One event by id (for example from a notification): type, time, source, status, the lock and the person involved, and the method used. The PIN or card used is not returned. GET /events/{id}.

Common questions

Is RemoteLock MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.6.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Apify MCP Server

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.
