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_state tool.
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) with cover_action.
Interactive Components — Press buttons via button_press, set numeric values with number_set, and choose options from dropdowns with select_option.
Security & Safety — Arm or disarm alarm panels using alarm_action directly from your chat interface.

How it works

Enable the web_server component 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 OpenAI Agents SDK?

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools from ESPHome through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries ESPHome, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

—
Native MCP integration via MCPServerSse, pass the URL and the SDK auto-discovers all tools with full type safety
—
Built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns let you build production-grade agents without reinventing safety infrastructure
—
Lightweight and composable: chain multiple agents and MCP servers in a single pipeline with minimal boilerplate
—
First-party OpenAI support ensures optimal compatibility with GPT models for tool calling and structured output

FAQ

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 the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
