The Seam Docs MCP Server is a public, read-only Model Context Protocol server. It gives coding agents access to Seam documentation, API schemas and implementation guides. Connect it to look up supported devices, verify an endpoint, or load a task-specific guide before writing code. The server is intended for developers integrating with Seam who want Claude to answer Seam questions accurately, whether they’re looking up an API endpoint, checking which lock models support mobile keys, or finding the right integration guide. It is read-only: it cannot control devices, manage access codes, create resources, or perform any other write operations against the Seam API.

​
Server Details

No API key, account, or sign-up is required to use the Seam Docs MCP server. It only reads and returns Seam’s public documentation.

​
What You Can Ask

Once connected, you can ask Claude questions like the following, and Claude will fetch the answer from the Seam docs and device database:
  • “How do I unlock a Schlage Encode lock with the Seam API?”
  • “Show me the webhook payload for lock.locked.”
  • “What’s the difference between an access code and an access grant?”
  • “Which smart lock models support mobile keys and remote unlock?”
  • “Compare August and Yale lock features for a hospitality deployment.”
  • “Find the right integration guide for property management workflows.”
  • “Does Seam support Salto KS access control systems?”
  • “How do I create a Connect Webview from the Python SDK?”

Available Tools

The public endpoint exposes seven read-only tools. Use the tools returned by your client’s current discovery response. Your agent can use these sources to verify a device’s capabilities and choose its next implementation step. The public endpoint does not make authenticated calls to your workspace. For an agent that needs to work with your workspace, Seam also offers an authenticated MCP endpoint at https://mcp.seam.co/mcp/authenticated. It uses a separate OAuth sign-in and delegated session. Follow the current project_setup guide for setup and discover the tools exposed by that authenticated endpoint. Do not put an API key in the public endpoint configuration.

​
Troubleshooting

  • 403 Forbidden on connection — The server only accepts requests from approved origins (mcp.seam.co, claude.ai, app.claude.ai, and localhost). Requests from other origins are rejected.
  • Empty search results — If search_docs returns nothing, broaden your query. Use Seam API resource names (for example, access_codes) rather than SDK-specific method names, and use generic capability terms (for example, “mobile keys”) when searching for devices.
  • Connection refused — Confirm that your network allows outbound HTTPS to mcp.seam.co. Some corporate firewalls block custom MCP endpoints.
