The Seam MCP server gives your AI coding assistant direct access to the entire Seam documentation. It can search docs semantically, fetch full pages, and browse the doc tree — so your assistant always has accurate, up-to-date context about the Seam API.
No API keys or authentication required. The server is free and public —
just add the URL and start coding.

Try It Out
After setup, try asking your AI assistant:
- “How do I create an API key in Seam?”
- “Show me how to unlock a door with the Seam API”
- “What access control systems does Seam support?”
Troubleshooting
- Tools not showing up? Restart your editor or reload the window after adding the MCP configuration.
- Connection errors? Make sure you’re using
https://mcp.seam.co/mcp — the /mcp path is required.
- Slow first response? The first query may take a few seconds while the server warms up. Subsequent queries are fast.
