What the code does

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Dumps the whole environment src/tools/setup.ts:94
  for (const key of Object.keys(process.env)) {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

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: CCU_HOST (Hostname or IP of your HomeMatic CCU (debmatic, CCU3, or OpenCCU/RaspberryMatic)), CCU_PASSWORD (CCU admin password (same as the WebUI login). Must be set; the value may be empty for a CCU with no password), CCU_USER (CCU username), CCU_HTTPS (Connect to the CCU via HTTPS (self-signed certificates supported)), CCU_PORT (CCU API port (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS)), CACHE_DIR (Directory for the device type cache and session persistence), MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (Comma-separated allowlist of browser origins. Unset = no cross-origin browser access (default-deny). An allowlisted origin is reflected exactly in Access-Control-Allow-Origin (never '*'); the list also drives DNS-rebinding origin checks), MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS (Extra Host header values accepted by DNS-rebinding protection (comma-separated host:port); add your hostname when behind a proxy or container DNS name), CCU_PROFILES (Comma-separated names of multiple CCU targets (e.g. 'prod,dev'). Each profile takes the flat CCU_* settings prefixed CCU_<NAME>_ (CCU_PROD_HOST, ...), plus policy flags CCU_<NAME>_PROTECTED (writes need confirm:true) and CCU_<NAME>_READONLY. Unset = single default profile from the flat CCU_* vars), CCU_DEFAULT_PROFILE (Which profile from CCU_PROFILES is active at startup (default: the first listed)), CCU_TLS_VERIFY (Verify the CCU's TLS certificate against the system trust store. Only meaningful with CCU_HTTPS=true. Default false, because a CCU ships a self-signed certificate — prefer CCU_TLS_FINGERPRINT or CCU_CA_CERT to verify one of those), CCU_TLS_FINGERPRINT (Pin the CCU's self-signed leaf certificate by its SHA-256 fingerprint (hex, colons optional). The strongest option for an appliance: the connection is rejected unless the presented certificate matches. Takes precedence over CCU_CA_CERT), CCU_CA_CERT (Path to a PEM file holding the CCU's CA or self-signed certificate. The connection is then validated against it with standard chain verification), CCU_TIMEOUT (Timeout for a CCU JSON-RPC call, in MILLISECONDS), CCU_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT (Timeout for HomeMatic Script execution (ReGa), in MILLISECONDS — scripts are slower than plain API calls), CACHE_TTL (Lifetime of the on-disk device-type schema cache, in SECONDS), CCU_RATE_LIMIT_BURST (Token-bucket burst size for CCU requests — how many may be issued back to back), CCU_RATE_LIMIT_RATE (Sustained CCU request rate, in requests per second), RESOURCE_POLL_INTERVAL (How often MCP resources are polled for change notifications, in SECONDS), LOG_LEVEL (error | warn | info | debug. Logs are structured JSON on stderr). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Ccu MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ccu MCP?
Ccu 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 ccu-mcp was installed 73 times last week.
How do I connect Ccu 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 ccu-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ccu MCP?
The npm package ccu-mcp was installed 73 times in the last week. Week over week that is +558%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ccu MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 9 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.
