Frequently asked questions
SmartRent scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. No public API or developer portal. SmartRent's integrations with Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, Knock and ILSs run on partner-gated credentials that SmartRent staff issue by email after a customer consents; the only visible REST surface is the reverse-engineered resident app API.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.

"There is no public API for SmartRent"; the author reverse-engineered the app API and warns it will probably break. The community Python client must log in with the resident's email and password because no token issuance exists. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Latch (Door), ButterflyMX, Brivo, Rently, PointCentral. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official SmartRent MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. SmartRent doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
