<summary><b>🏠 Home Assistant OS (Add-on)</b></summary>

1. Add the repository to your Home Assistant instance:

   [![Add Repository](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/supervisor_add_addon_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_add_addon_repository/?repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fhomeassistant-ai%2Fha-mcp)

2. Install **"Home Assistant MCP Server"** from the Add-on Store and wait for it to complete
3. Click **Start**, then open the **Logs** tab to find your unique MCP URL
4. Configure your AI client with that URL

No token or credential setup needed — the add-on connects to Home Assistant automatically.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>🌐 Remote Access (Nabu Casa / Webhook Proxy)</b></summary>

Already have **Nabu Casa** or another reverse proxy pointing at your Home Assistant? The Webhook Proxy add-on routes MCP traffic through your existing setup — no separate tunnel or port forwarding needed.

1. Install the **MCP Server add-on** (see above) and the **Webhook Proxy** add-on from the same store
2. Start the webhook proxy and **restart Home Assistant** when prompted
3. Copy the webhook URL from the add-on logs:
   ```
   MCP Server URL (remote): https://xxxxx.ui.nabu.casa/api/webhook/mcp_xxxxxxxx
   ```
4. Configure your AI client with that URL

For other remote access methods (Cloudflare Tunnel, custom reverse proxy), see the [Setup Wizard](https://homeassistant-ai.github.io/ha-mcp/setup/).

## 🔌 Custom Component (ha_mcp_tools) *(beta)*

Some tools require a companion custom component installed in Home Assistant. Standard HA APIs do not expose file system access or YAML config editing. This component provides both.

**Tools that require the component:**

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `ha_config_set_yaml` *(beta)* | Safely add, replace, or remove top-level YAML keys in `configuration.yaml` and package files (automatic backup, validation, and config check) |
| `ha_list_files` *(beta)* | List files in allowed directories (www/, themes/, custom_templates/) |
| `ha_read_file` *(beta)* | Read files from allowed paths (config YAML, logs, www/, themes/, custom_templates/, custom_components/) |
| `ha_write_file` *(beta)* | Write files to allowed directories |
| `ha_delete_file` *(beta)* | Delete files from allowed directories |

All other tools work without the component. These five return an error with installation instructions if the component is missing.

These tools also require feature flags: `HAMCP_ENABLE_FILESYSTEM_TOOLS=true` (file tools) and `ENABLE_YAML_CONFIG_EDITING=true` (YAML editing). To enable the `ha_install_mcp_tools` installer tool, set `HAMCP_ENABLE_CUSTOM_COMPONENT_INTEGRATION=true`.

### Install using HACS (recommended)

[![Open your Home Assistant instance and open a repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/hacs_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=homeassistant-ai&repository=ha-mcp&category=integration)

To add manually: open **HACS** > **Integrations** > three-dot menu > **Custom repositories** > add `https://github.com/homeassistant-ai/ha-mcp` (category: Integration) > **Download**.

After installing, restart Home Assistant. Then open **Settings** > **Devices & Services** > **Add Integration** and search for **HA MCP Tools**.

### Install manually

Copy `custom_components/ha_mcp_tools/` from this repository into your HA `config/custom_components/` directory. Restart Home Assistant, then add the integration as described above.

## 🧠 Better Results with Agent Skills

This server gives your AI agent tools to control Home Assistant. For better configurations, pair it with [Home Assistant Agent Skills](https://github.com/homeassistant-ai/skills) — domain knowledge that teaches the agent Home Assistant best practices.

An MCP server can create automations, helpers, and dashboards, but it has no opinion on *how* to structure them. Without domain knowledge, agents tend to over-rely on templates, pick the wrong helper type, or produce automations that are hard to maintain. The skills fill that gap: native constructs over Jinja2 workarounds, correct helper selection, safe refactoring workflows, and proper use of automation modes.

### Bundled Skills (built-in)

Skills from `homeassistant-ai/skills` are bundled and served as [MCP resources](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/resources) via `skill://` URIs. Any MCP client that supports resources can discover them automatically — no manual installation needed. For tool-only clients, the same skills are also exposed as `ha_list_resources` / `ha_read_resource` tools. Resources are not auto-injected into context — clients must explicitly request them, so idle context cost is just the metadata listing.

If you want to hide either tool from the catalog, disable it from the web settings UI like any other tool.

Skills can still be installed manually for clients that prefer local skill files — see the [skills repo](https://github.com/homeassistant-ai/skills) for instructions.
