name: Verkada
description: Verkada is a cloud-managed physical security company whose platform spans security cameras, access control, environmental
  and air-quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, visitor/guest management, and workplace safety, all administered through Verkada
  Command. Its public Command API is a REST interface (JSON over HTTPS, standard HTTP status codes) that lets developers programmatically
  manage cameras and footage, access-control users, doors, credentials and schedules, sensor and alarm data, guest events,
  Helix video tagging, and organization audit logs. Authentication uses a scoped API Key that mints short-lived 30-minute
  tokens (x-verkada-auth), with region-specific hosts for the United States, Europe, Australia, and GovCloud, plus HMAC-signed
  event webhooks for cameras, access, alarms, and guest.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
