↑ 0%Genea launches MCP server for cloud-native Access Control. IT, security, and facilities teams can now manage access control in plain language through the AI assistants they already use. Sep 30, 2026 Prev Next 1 of 43,718 Genea, a leading provider of enterprise cloud-native access control, announced the release of Genea MCP, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI agents directly to the Genea Access Control platform. Onboarding a new hire, setting up a contractor for two weeks, or unlocking the loading dock now takes one sentence instead of a dozen clicks. Genea is one of the first access control providers to launch a native MCP server. "In physical security, speed only matters if control comes with it, so we built the controls first." - Michael Wong, CEO and President, Genea Most access control work isn't hard, but it can be tedious. Adding one person to one site means finding the location, picking the access group, entering their details, and confirming the change. Repeat that for every new hire, contractor, and access change, and IT and security teams lose hours every week to routine clicks. Genea MCP skips the clicking. Ask it to "give Jordan access to the third floor," and it finds the right location and access group, asks only for what it can't look up itself, does the work, and confirms what changed. Teams can manage people, temporary access, access groups, doors, and controllers without opening the portal. "Access control software has always made administrators learn the system," said Michael Wong, CEO and President of Genea. "Genea MCP flips that. Your team says what needs to happen, and Genea does it within the permissions that person already has. In physical security, speed only matters if control comes with it, so we built the controls first." Built so AI never has more control than the person using it Genea MCP is off by default and must be enabled by an administrator for both the account and the user's role. Once on, it inherits each user's existing Genea permissions, checked on every request, so there is no second permission system to manage. Before any high-impact action, such as deleting a user or revoking access, it shows exactly what will be affected and waits for a yes. "The first question every IT team asks is who can use this and what they can do with it," said Mike Maxsenti, SVP of Product at Genea. "The answer is short. Only the people an administrator turns it on for, and only what their role already allows. That's what let's security teams say yes."
Genea has launched Genea MCP, a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants directly to its cloud-native access control platform. The system allows IT, security, and facilities teams to manage access control using natural language commands instead of navigating through multiple clicks. The MCP server enables administrators to handle tasks like onboarding new hires, setting up temporary contractor access, or unlocking doors with simple sentences. For example, asking to "give Jordan access to the third floor" prompts the system to locate the correct settings and execute the change automatically. Security features are built in by default. The system is disabled initially and must be activated by administrators for specific accounts and user roles. It inherits existing user permissions and requires confirmation before executing high-impact actions like deleting users or revoking access. Genea MCP is now available to all Genea Access Control customers. The company serves over 2 million users across 55 countries.

IRVINE, Calif., July 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Genea, the leading provider of cloud-based access control security built on non-proprietary hardware, has partnered with HID to launch mobile credentials in Google Wallet. As part of the release, Shopify, a global commerce company with over 12,000 credentialed users, will give their employees the ability to store digital access credentials in Google Wallet.Digital credentials -- commonly referred to as mobile key cards -- empower users, IT and security teams, property managers and more to distribute credentials using just the internet. From an advanced dashboard in Genea Security, administrators can quickly and efficiently distribute credentials to their employees' smartphones. Once received, these users can access buildings, offices and more without worrying about a physical key card. For Shopify, the Genea integration with Google Wallet makes this process even more secure and convenient."The partnership between HID and Genea will immediately benefit commercial security users, like Shopify," said Sanjit Bardhan, VP of Mobile at HID. "In our partnership with Genea, we've already seen the power of mobile access control and this secure wallet experience will empower users across mobile platforms to adopt the ease of mobile credentials."Through this partnership, verticals such as enterprises, banking, business services, technology firms, commercial real estate portfolios, schools and healthcare organizations can more quickly add and remove users across multiple facilities."We're a digital-first company with a global remote team, but we gather in person several times a year to connect and tackle tough problems," said Chris Lafrance, Physical Security Lead at Shopify
