## Overview

**zencontrol-cloud-mcp** enables AI assistants — such as Claude, Cursor, and other
MCP-compatible clients — to discover and control
[ZenControl](https://zencontrol.com/) DALI-2 lighting systems through natural
language.

Built on the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP)
with [FastMCP](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp), the server supports two
transports:

- **stdio** — for local, single-user setups (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)
- **StreamableHTTP** — for hosted / multi-user deployments

## Features

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `list_sites` | Discover accessible ZenControl sites |
| `get_site_details` | Explore site hierarchy (floors, zones, gateways, tenancies) |
| `list_groups` | List lighting groups by scope (site, floor, map, or gateway) |
| `list_devices` | List devices and their ECGs by scope |
| `control_light` | On/off, dim, set level (0–100 %), recall scenes, identify |
| `set_colour` | Colour temperature (Kelvin) or RGBWAF control |
