Simple CLI for Google Home & Mini
Simple CLI for Google Home & Mini. That is what the ghome mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
This also includes following importantly Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019. In the installer, select the C++ build tools, the Windows 10 SDK, and the latest version of MSVC v142 x64/x86 build tools.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at ghome on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
The server publishes 11 tools. What each one is for:
auth — The auth tool exposed by this serverdevice_list — This tool generates a list of all google home devices connected to your network and prints the name and ip address of each. This is a quick way todevice_info — This tool uses device name or ip addrss to get all information available for said device and prints it out as a json objectreboot — This is a powerful tool since the only current way of rebooting a device is to physically unplug and plug the device back in. This also allows you toalarm_list — This tool will simply list all alarms currently on your device including date , time and time zonealarm_volume — Set the alarm volume for a device, this only changes the alarm volume and nothing else. Alarm volumes can be set for values 0-1 which representsalarm_delete — Delete all alarms on a google home device based on ip or namebluetooth_status — The bluetooth status prints whether the device discovery is enabled, whether scanning is enabled and whether it is connected to a devicebluetooth_paired — Check if device is paried via bluetooth to any current device as well as history of all deviced connected, last connected and whether or not they arebluetooth_discovery — This is to enable or disable bluetooth discovery to allow for pairing as needed. The action can be to enable or disable coupled with the ip or devicesaved_network — This tool allows you to print any saved network on the device and nothing else it may provide only information on current network being used if therePlenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Ghome's toolset — auth, device_list, device_info and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Samapriya Roy; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| auth | The auth tool exposed by this server. |
| device_list | This tool generates a list of all google home devices connected to your network and prints the name and ip address of each. This is a quick way to check specific name or ip address to use for a device. |
| device_info | This tool uses device name or ip addrss to get all information available for said device and prints it out as a json object. |
| reboot | This is a powerful tool since the only current way of rebooting a device is to physically unplug and plug the device back in. This also allows you to do a factory reset so **Use reset with CAUTION**. |
| alarm_list | This tool will simply list all alarms currently on your device including date , time and time zone. |
| alarm_volume | Set the alarm volume for a device, this only changes the alarm volume and nothing else. Alarm volumes can be set for values 0-1 which represents volume from 0-100% so 0.1 means 10% volume and so on. |
| alarm_delete | Delete all alarms on a google home device based on ip or name. |
| bluetooth_status | The bluetooth status prints whether the device discovery is enabled, whether scanning is enabled and whether it is connected to a device. |
| bluetooth_paired | Check if device is paried via bluetooth to any current device as well as history of all deviced connected, last connected and whether or not they are currently connected. |
| bluetooth_discovery | This is to enable or disable bluetooth discovery to allow for pairing as needed. The action can be to enable or disable coupled with the ip or device name. |
| saved_network | This tool allows you to print any saved network on the device and nothing else it may provide only information on current network being used if there is only a single network it was connected to . |
