What is the ESPHome MCP Server?
Connect your ESPHome microcontrollers to any AI agent and take full control of your smart home or industrial IoT setup through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Real-time Monitoring — Fetch the current state and values of any sensor, switch, or binary sensor using the
get_entity_statetool. - Lighting Control — Manage lights with precision using
light_action, including brightness and RGB color adjustments. - Appliance Management — Toggle switches, control fans with
fan_action, and adjust covers (blinds/garage doors) withcover_action. - Interactive Components — Press buttons via
button_press, set numeric values withnumber_set, and choose options from dropdowns withselect_option. - Security & Safety — Arm or disarm alarm panels using
alarm_actiondirectly from your chat interface.
How it works
- Enable the
web_servercomponent in your ESPHome YAML configuration. - Subscribe to this server.
- Enter your device's local URL and optional password.
- Start interacting with your hardware from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Who is this for?
- Home Automation Enthusiasts — control your local environment without complex dashboards.
- IoT Developers — test and debug ESP32/ESP8266 entity behaviors using natural language.
- Hardware Engineers — monitor sensor metrics and trigger actions during prototyping phases.

Why teams choose Vinkius for ESPHome in Mastra AI
The ESPHome MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 10 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Mastra AI only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
ESPHome for Mastra AI
Every tool call from Mastra AI to the ESPHome MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I control my lights and set specific colors using this server?
Yes! Use the light_action tool. You can specify the entity name, the action (turn_on), and optional parameters like brightness (0-255) and RGB values (r, g, b) to get the perfect ambiance.
How do I check the current temperature or humidity from my sensors?
Simply use the get_entity_state tool. Provide the domain (e.g., 'sensor') and the entity ID. The agent will return the current value and state of that specific hardware component.
Is it possible to trigger a physical button or restart a device?
Yes. If you have a button entity configured in ESPHome (like a restart button), you can use the button_press tool with the entity name to trigger that action remotely.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
