# ESPHome MCP Bridge

[![Open your Home Assistant instance and open a repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/hacs_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=jrigling&repository=esphome-mcp-integration&category=integration)
[![Open your Home Assistant instance and start setting up a new integration.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/config_flow_start.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/config_flow_start/?domain=esphome_mcp_bridge)

Drive a **full ESPHome development cycle from an AI agent** (e.g. Claude Code
via Home Assistant's MCP server). This repo ships a Home Assistant custom
integration that registers a custom LLM API exposing ESPHome tools, backed by a
small reusable PyPI client library.

```
AI agent ── MCP ──► Home Assistant ──► ESPHome Builder LLM API
                                          │
                          ┌───────────────┴───────────────┐
                          ▼                                ▼
                 /config/esphome (files)        ESPHome dashboard add-on
                                                (stable / beta / dev) via
                                                Supervisor internal network
```

## Why this works without sidecars

The integration runs **inside Home Assistant Core**, so it has:

- **Native filesystem access** to `/config/esphome` for reading, creating, and
  writing YAML — reliable and independent of which add-on is installed.
- **Internal network access** to the ESPHome dashboard add-on through the
  Supervisor, reaching the dashboard's container directly (no ingress auth, no
  exposed ports) for validate / compile / upload / run / logs.

No changes to the ESPHome add-on and no external containers required.

## The development-cycle tools

The `ESPHome Builder` LLM API exposes these tools:

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `esphome_list_addons` | Discover installed ESPHome channels (stable/beta/…
