Overview
The Home Assistant Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol designed for AI assistants to interact securely with Home Assistant. It enables AI models to execute commands, retrieve smart home information, and handle errors consistently. This server acts as a bridge between AI models like Claude and GPT with Home Assistant, offering features such as modular architecture, typed interface, middleware system, extensible plugins, and streaming responses.
Features
- Modular Architecture
- Typed Interface with TypeScript
- Multiple Transports (Standard I/O, HTTP/REST API)
- Middleware System (validation, logging, error handling)
- Built-in Tools for smart home control
- Extensible Plugin System
- Parameter Validation with Zod schemas
- Integration with Claude & Cursor
Getting Started
- Clone the repository from GitHub and install dependencies using Node.js.
- Configure the server using environment variables or a
.envfile. - Use Docker for deployment if necessary and configure your environment settings.
