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.

Builds a database query by concatenation claude-plugin/vome-esphome/hooks/chip.ts:187
    const drop = Math.max(2, surface - 3)
    const run = t * 9 + k * (drop / 3)
    for await (const piece of $.process.spawn({ argv, input: JSON.stringify(snapshot) })) {

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add home-assistant-mcp -- npx -y @vortitron/home-assistant-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "home-assistant-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@vortitron/home-assistant-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.home-assistant-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@vortitron/home-assistant-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "home-assistant-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@vortitron/home-assistant-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "home-assistant-mcp": {

        "@vortitron/home-assistant-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HA_URL (Your Home Assistant's address, e.g. http://homeassistant.local:8123 (or use VOMEHOME_TOKEN instead)), HA_TOKEN (A Home Assistant long-lived access token), HA_ALLOW_WRITE (Set to true to allow service calls and edits; reads only without it), VOMEHOME_TOKEN (A key from the Vome app's Agent tab, to reach the home through Vome instead of HA_URL and HA_TOKEN). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Home Assistant MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Home Assistant MCP?
Home Assistant 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 @vortitron/home-assistant-mcp was installed 376 times last week.
How do I connect Home Assistant 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 @vortitron/home-assistant-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Home Assistant MCP?
The npm package @vortitron/home-assistant-mcp was installed 376 times in the last week. Week over week that is +376%. 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 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.
