Does this MCP work with my existing smart home setup?

Yes. This MCP connects to the Alexa Smart Properties API, meaning it works with any device already connected and managed through your Amazon Alexa account.

Can I control multiple rooms or units?

Yes. The MCP includes capabilities for room management and device assignment, allowing you to manage and control devices across multiple distinct units or areas.

What if I want to remove a device from the system?

You have two options: use deregister_alexa_device to remove it from your account, or use forget_alexa_device to completely remove it, requiring a full re-setup.

Does this connector handle temperature and climate control?

It does. You can read the current temperature using get_temperature_sensor and check the operational mode and target temperature using get_thermostat_state.

Is this just for lights, or can it control other things?

It controls more than just lights. You can manage speakers, read power states for plugs and switches, and adjust climate settings.

What Alexa-connected devices are supported by this API?

The Alexa Smart Properties API supports: smart lights (on/off, brightness, color), smart plugs and switches, thermostats (mode and temperature monitoring), temperature sensors, Echo devices and speakers (volume control), security sensors, and other Alexa-connected endpoints. Each device exposes specific features (power, brightness, speaker, thermostat, etc.) that can be queried and controlled.

How do I get an OAuth 2.0 access token for the Alexa API?

Visit the Alexa Developer Console and create a Smart Home Skill. Set up Login with Amazon (LWA) credentials in your Amazon Developer account. Complete the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to obtain an access token. The token must be refreshed periodically as it expires after a set duration.

Can I control devices in different rooms or properties?

Yes! The API returns all devices across all properties and rooms in your Alexa Smart Properties account. Use list_alexa_devices to see all devices with their room assignments, then use each device's unique endpoint ID to control them individually. You can also reassign devices to different rooms using the update_device_room action.

What's the difference between deregister and forget a device?

Deregister removes the device from your Alexa Smart Properties account but keeps it available for re-discovery. The device itself remains configured. Forget completely removes the device from Alexa. it will need to be re-discovered and set up again as if it were a new device. Use deregister for temporary removal and forget for permanent removal.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Leaving for Work

Ask your AI to turn off all lights and set the thermostat back. This saves energy and gives you peace of mind.

Setting the Mood

Tell your AI to dim the living room lights to 30% and set the background music volume. It handles both actions instantly.

Checking on Guests

Ask what the temperature is in the guest room. Your AI reads the sensor data and reports the current reading.

Device Cleanup

If you move a device, you can use the MCP to update its room assignment and name so your AI knows where it belongs.

Automate a task

Put Alexa Smart Home to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Alexa Smart Home works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Alexa Smart Home to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
