What is it?
ha-mcp 9.2.0 is the latest release of a community Model Context Protocol server for Home Assistant, and the repo is on GitHub's daily trending list. The server gives an assistant 87 tools to search entities, call services, and create or edit automations, scripts, helpers and dashboards. Home Assistant's built-in MCP server only controls entities exposed to Assist; ha-mcp is meant for building and maintaining the setup itself.
How does it work?
The recommended install runs the server inside Home Assistant as an integration (2026.8 or newer); you then paste its connect URL into an MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code. In version 9.2.0, helper flows go through Home Assistant Core's own flow, `ha_list_services` takes its descriptions from Core, stored text files can be edited with exact-match search and replace, and flow fields that Core marks as secret are redacted.
Why does it matter?
Home Assistant users can describe an automation or a broken rule in plain language and let the assistant read traces and change the configuration, with Read Only Mode, approval policies and automatic edit backups as guardrails. Everything runs locally and the project states it has no telemetry.
