## Overview
|
||
|
||
The MCP Server bridges Home Assistant with advanced LLM integrations to deliver intuitive control, automation, and state monitoring. Leveraging a high-performance runtime and real-time communication protocols, MCP offers a seamless experience for managing your smart home.
|
||
|
||
## Key Features
|
||
|
||
### Device Control & Monitoring
|
||
- **Smart Device Control:** Manage lights, climate, covers, switches, sensors, media players, fans, locks, vacuums, and cameras using natural language commands.
|
||
- **Real-time Updates:** Receive instant notifications and updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE).
|
||
|
||
### System & Automation Management
|
||
- **Automation Engine:** Create, modify, and trigger custom automation rules with ease.
|
||
- **Add-on & Package Management:** Integrates with HACS for deploying custom integrations, themes, scripts, and applications.
|
||
- **Robust System Management:** Features advanced state monitoring, error handling, and security safeguards.
|
||
|
||
## Architecture & Design
|
||
|
||
The MCP Server is built with scalability, resilience, and security in mind:
|
||
|
||
- **High-Performance Runtime:** Powered by Bun for fast startup, efficient memory utilization, and native TypeScript support.
|
||
- **Real-time Communication:** Employs Server-Sent Events (SSE) for continuous, real-time data updates.
|
||
- **Modular & Extensible:** Designed to support plugins, add-ons, and custom automation scripts, allowing for easy expansion.
|
||
- **Secure API Integration:** Implements token-based authentication, rate limiting, and adherence to best security practices.
|
||
|
||
For a deeper dive into the system architecture, please refer to our [Architecture Documentation](docs/architecture.md).
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Once the server is running, open your browser at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). For real-time device updates, integrate the SSE endpoint in your application:
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
const eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:3000/subscribe_events?token=YOUR_TOKEN&domain=light');
|
||
|
||
eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
|
||
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
|
||
console.log('Update received:', data);
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
