Homebox home inventory: search, intake, warranties, attachments, locations, tags, QR labels
If you already use Homebox, the homebox mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Homebox home inventory: search, intake, warranties, attachments, locations, tags, QR labels.
You need a running Homebox instance (0.26+, see Requirements) and an API key from Profile → API Keys in the Homebox web UI.

Edit — All write tools resolve by exact identifier and preserve everything you don't touch (a full-body PUT that echoes the rest of the item back — seeReporting — The Reporting tool exposed by this serverAttachments — The Attachments tool exposed by this serverhomebox-mcp on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

/items, /locations, /labels) and are rejected on the first tool call with a clear error rather than failing cryptically.Plenty 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. Homebox's toolset — Edit, Reporting, Attachments — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dgahagan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
