Usage

With Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

If installed via npm:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seam": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/seam-mcp/.smithery/stdio/index.cjs"],
      "env": {
        "SEAM_API_KEY": "your-seam-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or using npx (after publishing):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seam": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "seam-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SEAM_API_KEY": "your-seam-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

With Smithery

After installation via Smithery, configure your API key in the Smithery dashboard. The server will be automatically available to Claude and other MCP clients.

Development

Run the development server with live reload:

npm run dev

Build for production:

npm run build

Build for both stdio and HTTP transports:

npm run build:all

Example Usage

Once configured, you can ask Claude to:

Lock Control

• "Show me the status of all my locks" (comprehensive overview)
• "List all my smart locks"
• "Unlock the front door"
• "What's the status of my garage lock?"
• "Lock the back door"
• "Which locks need new batteries?"

Access Code Management

• "Create an access code 1234 named 'Guest Code' on all my locks in Seattle"
• "Create a temporary access code for my cleaner from January 1st to January 15th"
• "List all access codes on my front door"
• "Delete the access code named 'Old Guest Code'"
• "Create access code 5678 named 'Airbnb Guest' that works from next Monday at 3pm to next Friday at 11am"

Configuration

The server requires a Seam API key. Get yours from the Seam Console.

When using with Smithery, the API key is securely stored and managed through the Smithery platform.

API Reference

Lock Control Tools

get_status()

NEW! Get a comprehensive status dashboard of all your locks. Returns:

• Lock states summary (how many locked/unlocked, percentage)
• Connectivity status (online/offline locks)
• Battery level analysis (low/medium battery warnings)
• Error and warning detection
• Quick visual summary with emojis

Perfect for: "Show me the status of all my locks" or "Do I have any issues with my locks?"

list_locks()

Returns all locks in your Seam account with basic information including name, manufacturer, model, lock status, battery level, and online status.

get_lock(device_id)

Gets detailed information about a specific lock including capabilities, errors, warnings, and location.

lock_door(device_id)

Locks the specified door and returns the action attempt details.

unlock_door(device_id)

Unlocks the specified door and returns the action attempt details.

get_lock_status(device_id)

Gets the current lock/unlock status along with battery level and online status.

Access Code Management Tools

create_access_code(device_id, name, code?, starts_at?, ends_at?)

Creates an access code on a single lock. The code parameter is optional (random code generated if not provided). Time limits are optional - omit them for permanent codes.

Example:

{
  device_id: "abc123",
  name: "Guest Code",
  code: "1234",
  starts_at: "2025-01-01T16:00:00Z",
  ends_at: "2025-01-15T12:00:00Z"
}

create_access_code_on_multiple_locks(device_ids, name, code?, starts_at?, ends_at?, location_filter?)

Creates the same access code on multiple locks. Supports location-based filtering to target locks by location name.

Example with location filter:

{
  device_ids: [],  // Can be empty when using location_filter
  name: "Seattle Guest Code",
  code: "5678",
  location_filter: "Seattle"  // Will find all locks with "Seattle" in their location or name
}

list_access_codes(device_id?)

Lists all access codes. Optionally filter by device_id to see codes for a specific lock.

update_access_code(access_code_id, name?, code?, starts_at?, ends_at?)

Updates an existing access code. All parameters except access_code_id are optional.

delete_access_code(access_code_id)

Permanently deletes an access code from the lock.
