Security Guide
This document outlines security best practices and configurations for the Home Assistant MCP Server.
Authentication
JWT Authentication
The server uses JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for API authentication:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN
Token Configuration
security:
jwt_secret: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
token_expiry: 24h
refresh_token_expiry: 7d
Access Control
CORS Configuration
Configure allowed origins to prevent unauthorized access:
security:
allowed_origins:
- http://localhost:3000
- https://your-domain.com
IP Filtering
Restrict access by IP address:
security:
allowed_ips:
- 192.168.1.0/24
- 10.0.0.0/8
SSL/TLS Configuration
Enable HTTPS
ssl:
enabled: true
cert_file: /path/to/cert.pem
key_file: /path/to/key.pem
Certificate Management
- Use Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates
- Regularly renew certificates
- Monitor certificate expiration
Rate Limiting
Basic Rate Limiting
rate_limit:
enabled: true
requests_per_minute: 100
burst: 20
Advanced Rate Limiting
rate_limit:
rules:
- endpoint: /api/control
requests_per_minute: 50
- endpoint: /api/state
requests_per_minute: 200
