Your AI agents can now control your Google Home devices
Google is launching early access to a new MCP server for Google Home, allowing AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and others to control connected devices, review camera summaries, and access smart home activity using natural language.
Smart home owners will soon be able to control their devices connected to Google Home via an AI agent. On Wednesday, Google rolled out early access to its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for its Google Home ecosystem, which will allow any AI agent that supports MCP, like Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, and Google Antigravity, to securely work with their smart home devices and access their event history.
This update will allow people to use natural language instructions to do things like review their camera summaries, monitor smart home activity, control their connected devices, and build their own custom smart home dashboards.
The system will support any device in the Google Home ecosystem, including Google Nest doorbells and thermostats and “Works with Google Home” (or Matter) devices, like light bulbs.
Google already supports MCP in other areas of its business, including in its Google Cloud and data platforms , developer tools, and Google Workspace , for instance. Support for Google Home is targeted more directly at consumers who are experimenting with AI agents designed to handle everyday tasks.
Google is also soliciting feedback from early adopters during this period by way of its Smart Home for Developers Community , it says.
An earlier version of this post misstated the rollout’s start. It is today, Wednesday, not Tuesday.
