LIFX LAN Controller

MCPOpen Source12.0

by simon-duchastel • IoT & Embedded

An MCP server that lets an LLM discover and control LIFX lights over the local network without cloud connectivity.

Example Use Cases

1
Discover all LIFX lights on a local network and obtain metadata like labels, groups, and locations.
2
Read current light states (color, brightness, on/off) to inform automated responses or routines.
3
Change light colors or toggle lights locally (turn on/off or set color/transition) without relying on cloud APIs.

Description

This MCP server exposes tools for listing LIFX lights, reading their state, turning them on/off, and changing colors over your LAN. It runs in stdio mode (default) or as an HTTP/SSE server and communicates directly with the lights on the same Wi‑Fi network, avoiding cloud services. The project is open-source (MIT) and includes configurable transport options and support for multiple MCP protocol versions. Note: HTTP server mode currently lacks authentication and is flagged as potentially unsafe for public exposure.

lifx_lan_list_lights

List all Lifx lights currently available on the user's local area network (LAN).Each light is specified by a unique string label.Use this to get which lights the user wants to interact with, as the label is used in other tools to interact with lights.Also includes additional information about the light, such as group and location

lifx_lan_get_lights_state

Get the current state of one or more LIFX lights, including their colors, whether they're on or off, and what groups and locations they belong to (if any).
