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:

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:
