# Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
This guide will help you get started with the Home Assistant MCP (Model Context Protocol).
|
||||
Begin your journey with the Home Assistant MCP Server by following these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Before you begin, ensure you have:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Node.js (v16 or higher)
|
||||
2. A running Home Assistant instance
|
||||
3. A Home Assistant Long-Lived Access Token
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/homeassistant-mcp.git
|
||||
cd homeassistant-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install dependencies:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Copy the example environment file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Edit the `.env` file with your configuration:
|
||||
```env
|
||||
# Server Configuration
|
||||
PORT=3000
|
||||
BUN_ENV=development
|
||||
|
||||
# Home Assistant Configuration
|
||||
HASS_HOST=http://your-hass-instance:8123
|
||||
HASS_TOKEN=your-long-lived-access-token
|
||||
|
||||
# Security Configuration
|
||||
JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
- `PORT`: The port number for the MCP server (default: 3000)
|
||||
- `BUN_ENV`: The environment mode (development, production, test)
|
||||
- `HASS_HOST`: Your Home Assistant instance URL
|
||||
- `HASS_TOKEN`: Your Home Assistant Long-Lived Access Token
|
||||
- `JWT_SECRET`: Secret key for JWT token generation
|
||||
|
||||
### Development Mode
|
||||
|
||||
For development, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun run dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the server in development mode with hot reloading.
|
||||
|
||||
### Production Mode
|
||||
|
||||
For production, build and start the server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun run build
|
||||
bun start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## First Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check the server is running:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. List available devices:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-token" http://localhost:3000/api/tools/devices
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Subscribe to events:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-token" http://localhost:3000/api/sse/subscribe?events=state_changed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
