View HA MCP Server Tool Page →Home automation is powerful, but controlling it usually means juggling dashboards, YAML configs, and mobile apps. HA MCP Server changes that: it connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini directly to your Home Assistant instance through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so you can manage your smart home with plain language.
What is HA MCP Server?
HA MCP Server is the unofficial yet awesome Home Assistant MCP server — a bridge between large language models and your Home Assistant Core. Instead of writing automation scripts by hand, you ask your AI assistant to turn off the living room lights, check sensor states, or trigger a scene, and the server translates that request into Home Assistant API calls.
💡 Key fact: With 4,384 GitHub stars and an MIT license, HA MCP Server is one of the most popular MCP bridges for smart-home automation, and it installs directly via HACS.
