This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: Z2M_MQTT_URL (MQTT broker URL used by Zigbee2MQTT, e.g. mqtt://192.168.1.10:1883. Supports mqtt://, mqtts://, ws:// and wss://. This is the broker, not the Zigbee2MQTT frontend port.), Z2M_MQTT_USERNAME (MQTT broker username, if the broker requires authentication.), Z2M_MQTT_PASSWORD (MQTT broker password, if the broker requires authentication.), Z2M_BASE_TOPIC (Zigbee2MQTT base topic. Must match mqtt.base_topic in configuration.yaml. Defaults to zigbee2mqtt.), Z2M_WRITE_MODE (Tool exposure tier: off (read-only), safe (default; adds non-destructive writes such as pairing, options, rename and binding) or full (adds device removal, OTA flashing, Touchlink and bridge restart).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Zigbee2mqtt MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Zigbee2mqtt MCP?
Zigbee2mqtt MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package zigbee2mqtt-mcp was installed 50 times last week.
How do I connect Zigbee2mqtt MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls zigbee2mqtt-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Zigbee2mqtt MCP?
The npm package zigbee2mqtt-mcp was installed 50 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Zigbee2mqtt MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 30 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
