AI MCP Server

[mattmeye]

Describe the protocol enhancement

I'd like to create ESPHome Devices within AI Coding Agents (Copilot, Claude Code, etc.). A MCP on top of the current API would be perfect. Methods could be:

• esphome_list_devices
• esphome_create_device
• esphome_select_device (for context)
• esphome_update_device (requires context)
• esphome_get_config (requires context)
• esphome_validate_config, ... and many more

Use cases

Connect the AI Coding world with ESPHome Devices :)

Anything else?

Maybe also post the idea to as comment here and add a reverse link back here from there:

• https://community.home-assistant.io/t/building-the-ai-powered-local-smart-home/929642/

Tip would be to have it as a custom component for Home Assistant so might also get get some inspiration from these custom components projects:

• https://github.com/sbenodiz/ai_agent_ha
• https://github.com/ITSpecialist111/ai_automation_suggester
• https://github.com/ITSpecialist111/Automation-Inspector
• https://github.com/ITSpecialist111/CopilotPerplexityMCP

Btw, allenporter has written a guide on using MCP agents from Home Assistant here:

Would also be great if this could deal with ESPHome's LVGL implementation for quickly building UIs

Just noticed the docs are on context7's mcp server:

https://context7.com/esphome/esphome-docs?tab=chat

They need a refresh (I have requested), but even with just the in brows3r chat you can actually get it to whip up a quick LVGL UI for you (give it a try 'make me an LVGL gui with four light switches')

Could also take inspiration from this ha-mcp ”The Unofficial and Awesome Home Assistant MCP Server” project:
