Chirp Home Automation

Home automation you can just talk to. No dashboards, no app to learn.

Documentation

Chirp Home Automation MCP Server

smithery badge

Point the AI app you already talk to at your own home. Ask which sensors have gone quiet, what set off last night's alert, how cold the garage got — and tell it to do something about it.

The server is hosted by Chirp. Nothing to install, no key to generate or paste: you sign in with your usual Chirp account in the browser, once.

https://mcp-auth.chirpwireless.io/mcp

This repository holds the public metadata for that server — its registry manifest, its icon, and the setup steps below. The service itself is closed-source.

What is MCP?

MCP is a shared way for an AI app to reach out and use something else safely. Chirp speaks it, so the app you already use can talk to your home with no custom plumbing — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and more.

What can your AI app do with your home?

AreaWhat it can do
SensorsList the sensors in your home, see their details and readings, add a new one — a LoRaWAN sensor or a tracker — from the available profiles
ControlSend a command to a device, and check that it went through
ConnectionsSee how your home is connected, and set up a connection for a new sensor
AutomationsGo through what you've built, and see what each one actually does
AlertsLook at your alerts, summarize what has been triggering and how often, send a test notification to check it lands on your phone
DashboardsList your dashboards and pull the data behind a widget, so it can chart or explain a reading
HouseholdLook up your home's details and members, invite someone, set what they can see

Anything that changes something asks you first. Anything that only looks stays out of your way.

Connecting Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http chirp https://mcp-auth.chirpwireless.io/mcp

Run /mcp inside Claude Code, pick chirp, and sign in when the browser opens. Run /mcp again and it shows as connected — then ask it which of your sensors went quiet this week.

Connecting Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex

If your app has a Connectors, Integrations or MCP servers screen, choose whatever it calls "add a custom server", paste https://mcp-auth.chirpwireless.io/mcp, and sign in when the browser opens.

If it is configured from a file or a terminal instead, add the same address as a Streamable HTTP server. Your app's own documentation will say where that setting lives.

Which home does it see?

If you only have one home, skip this — it just works.

The plain address follows whichever home is selected in the Chirp app. If you look after a holiday flat as well as your own place and want each AI client fixed to one, pin it:

https://mcp-auth.chirpwireless.io/o/{organizationId}/mcp

The ID for a home is in the Chirp web app. You can only connect to a home you're a member of.

What it can and can't see

Your AI app sees exactly what you see. If something is hidden from you, it's hidden from your assistant. There's no key to lose, because there is no key — the connection is your own browser sign-in, and you can end it whenever you like.

API vs MCP

The REST API is for code you write — a script that exports readings into a spreadsheet every Sunday, or a bridge to another home platform. It runs on a key you create, with the scopes you choose. MCP is for asking questions and getting things done in the moment, as yourself.
