three.ws Home MCP Server

local only

three.ws Home runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 34 installs a week from npm. Last commit 1 Nov 2026.

Read and safely act on a real Home Assistant house: rooms, live state, scenes, gated actions.

What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

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.

Put your own values in place of <HOME_ASSISTANT_URL> (Base URL of the Home Assistant instance, e.g. https://abc123.ui.nabu.casa. It has to be a URL this process can actually reach: a server outside the house cannot route to 192.168.x.x, so a LAN-only home needs Home Assistant Cloud or the household's own reverse proxy), <HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN> (A Home Assistant long-lived access token (Home Assistant, your profile, Security, Long-lived access tokens, Create token). It carries the full rights of the account that minted it, so mint it from an account with only the access this agent should have). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: HOME_ALLOWED_ENTITIES (Comma-separated entity ids the person running this server has pre-approved for guarded actions, e.g. lock.office_door. This is the ONLY way an action that opens the house runs over stdio, and it is deliberately a human, out-of-band decision: no tool can add to it. Per entity, never per domain. Leave unset to refuse every such action).

three.ws Home — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for three.ws Home?
three.ws Home 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 @three-ws/home-mcp was installed 34 times last week.
How do I connect three.ws Home?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @three-ws/home-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use three.ws Home?
The npm package @three-ws/home-mcp was installed 34 times in the last week. Week over week that is +325%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is three.ws Home open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 264 stars on GitHub and 6 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
