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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add hass-mcp-server -- npx -y @jarahkon/hass-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HA_URL (Home Assistant base URL (e.g. http://homeassistant.local:8123)), HA_TOKEN (Home Assistant long-lived access token), HA_SSH_HOST (SSH hostname for file management (optional)), HA_SSH_PORT (SSH port (default: 22)), HA_SSH_USER (SSH username (must be root)), HA_SSH_KEY_PATH (Path to SSH private key), HA_SSH_PASSWORD (SSH password (alternative to key)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

answering

Home Assistant MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Home Assistant MCP Server?
Home Assistant MCP Server 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 @jarahkon/hass-mcp-server was installed 100 times last week.
How do I connect Home Assistant MCP Server?
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 @jarahkon/hass-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Home Assistant MCP Server?
The npm package @jarahkon/hass-mcp-server was installed 100 times in the last week. Week over week that is +46%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Home Assistant MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 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.
