OpenHue MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

• 2

  Perform granular light control (on/off, brightness, color, temperature) in natural language as part of automation or conversational workflows.

• 3

  Activate or manage room-wide settings and scenes (e.g., set 'Relaxing' scene or dim all kitchen lights) via Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible LLM interface.

Description

This MCP server exposes Hue light, room, and scene controls to Claude Desktop and other LLM-based agents, translating natural language requests into OpenHue CLI commands. It supports listing lights/rooms/scenes, turning lights on/off, adjusting brightness, setting colors and color temperature, and activating scenes. The server runs on Node.js and uses a local OpenHue Docker CLI setup to communicate with your Hue Bridge, enabling secure local automation and conversational control from LLMs.
