Native macOS HomeKit integration for AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
If you already use Homemcpbridge, the homemcpbridge mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Native macOS HomeKit integration for AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
HomeMCPBridge is a macOS app that lets AI assistants (Claude, and others that support MCP) control your HomeKit devices directly. Ask your AI to "turn off the living room lights" or "set the bedroom to 50% brightness" and it just works.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Cameras — The Cameras tool exposed by this serverStatus — Overview of your smart home setup: - Apple HomeKit device count - Plugin status and device counts - Device link count - App settings (menu bar, dockDevices — Browse all devices organized by room: - Tap (i) to link/unlink devices - Shows device source (HomeKit, Govee, etc.) - Indicates linked devicesPlugins — Configure third-party integrations: - Govee - Smart lights and appliances - Scrypted NVR - Network video recorder camerasMCPPost — Broadcast real-time sensor events to your AI: - Configure webhook endpoint URL - Enable/disable event broadcasting - View recent events and theirSetup — Complete setup guide with: - MCP configuration snippets - Plugin setup instructions (Govee, Scrypted) - MCPPost configuration - Device linking guideConfiguration — 1. Open HomeMCPBridge 2. Go to the MCPPost tab 3. Enter your endpoint URL (e.g., http://localhost:8000/api/events) 4. Enable broadcasting withSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Homemcpbridge's toolset — Cameras, Status, Devices and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by rodaddy; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
