Home Assistant MCP

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Discover Home Assistant entities by natural language queries (e.g., "find my living room lights") to obtain entity_ids for downstream actions.

• 2

  Perform basic device control operations via the Home Assistant API, such as turning devices on or off.

• 3

  A local MCP bridge to integrate AI-driven automation with a self-hosted Home Assistant instance using a long-lived access token.

Description

This integration exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI agents to a Home Assistant instance, enabling natural-language entity search and basic device control. It requires a running Home Assistant instance and a Long-Lived Access Token to authenticate API requests. The project simplifies automating and orchestrating smart-home actions from AI assistants and outlines planned enhancements for more direct and richer device control.
