# Model Context Protocol Server for Home Assistant
The server uses the MCP protocol to share access to a local Home Assistant instance with an LLM application.
A powerful bridge between your Home Assistant instance and Language Learning Models (LLMs), enabling natural language control and monitoring of your smart home devices through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server provides a comprehensive API for managing your entire Home Assistant ecosystem, from device control to system administration.

## Features
- 🎮 **Device Control**: Control any Home Assistant device through natural language
- 🔄 **Real-time Updates**: Get instant updates through Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- 🤖 **Automation Management**: Create, update, and manage automations
- 📊 **State Monitoring**: Track and query device states
- 🔐 **Secure**: Token-based authentication and rate limiting
- 📱 **Mobile Ready**: Works with any HTTP-capable client
## Real-time Updates with SSE
The server includes a powerful Server-Sent Events (SSE) system that provides real-time updates from your Home Assistant instance. This allows you to:
- 🔄 Get instant state changes for any device
- 📡 Monitor automation triggers and executions
- 🎯 Subscribe to specific domains or entities
- 📊 Track service calls and script executions
### Quick SSE Example
```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);
};
```
See [SSE_API.md](docs/SSE_API.md) for complete documentation of the SSE system.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jango-blockchained/homeassistant-mcp.git
cd homeassistant-mcp
# Install dependencies
bun install
# Build the project
bun run build
```
### Docker Setup (Recommended)
The project includes Docker support with Bun for optimal performance and consistent environments across different platforms.
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/jango-blockchained/homeassistant-mcp.git
cd homeassistant-mcp
```
2. **Configure environment:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit the `.env` file with your Home Assistant configuration:
```env
# Home Assistant Configuration
HASS_HOST=http://homeassistant.local:8123
HASS_TOKEN=your_home_assistant_token
HASS_SOCKET_URL=ws://homeassistant.local:8123/api/websocket
# Server Configuration
PORT=3000
BUN_ENV=production
DEBUG=false
```
3. **Build and run with Docker Compose:**
```bash
# Build and start the containers
docker compose up -d
# View logs
docker compose logs -f
# Stop the service
docker compose down
```
4. **Verify the installation:**
The server should now be running at `http://localhost:3000`. You can check the health endpoint at `http://localhost:3000/health`.
5. **Update the application:**
