Home Assistant MCP Server
Implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Home Assistant's REST API as LLM-accessible tools and resources, enabling Claude and other AI assistants to query device states, control entities, and manage automations through natural language. Provides lean JSON responses optimized for token efficiency, alongside guided conversation prompts for common tasks like automation creation and troubleshooting. Deploys via Docker or Python with stdio transport, integrating directly into Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code CLI.

Homeassistant MCP server for 小智AI
Implements Home Assistant as a native MCP server using WebSocket protocol for direct connection to Xiaozhi's official infrastructure, eliminating intermediary proxies. Supports multiplexing multiple API sources—Home Assistant's built-in control functions alongside user-configured MCP servers—and aggregates them into a unified tool interface exposed to the LLM. Installable via HACS with configuration through Home Assistant's native integration UI, exposing tools based on entities published to the voice assistant.
