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.

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
