MCP - Model Context Protocol

[zealous inlet]

Does anyone have an example of what can be done with the new MCP integration?

And what is the future posibilities here?

I read the description of the MCP integration as a bridge between Home assistant, and a LLM client (like claude desktop, or even a local client).

This is really exciting, and im hoping we are moving in a direction where one could expose updated files like logfiles, config files and other system metrics, and have that as a baseline when troubleshooting or when creating, scripts, automations, scenes, UI components etc.

Any ideas?

I'm also trying to grasp what MCP can do, but there are a lot of interesting ideas/implementations already here: https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers

Hey, has anyone managed to connect Cursor's MCP client to Home Assistant's MCP server with SSE? The official Cursor docs (https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol) show an example with "url" and "env" "API_KEY", but this doesn't seem to work: I get 401 Unauthorized, but the key is definitely correct (verified using curl).

The Home Assistant docs (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mcp_server/) use an mcp-proxy, but I'd prefer to avoid that since Cursor seems to support direct SSE connections now.

So I'm trying to get OpenWebUI hooked up to HomeAssistant's MCP server. Seems like it's connected, but no tools are exposed. In looking at the MCP Server integration in Home Assistant, it says "no devices/entities" exposed even though I have all of my entities exposed to Assist via the voice assistant settings. Anybody have similar problems?
