What is the Philips Hue MCP Server?

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server specifically designed to control and manage your Philips Hue smart lighting system. Through this server, you can use natural language commands to control the smart lights in your home without manually operating the mobile app or physical switches.

How to use the Philips Hue MCP Server?

You can use this server through MCP - supported clients (such as Claude Desktop or Cursor). First, you need to configure the connection to your Hue Bridge, and then you can control the lights through simple commands.

Applicable Scenarios

Suitable for smart home users, users who want to control lights with voice or text, users who need automated lighting scenes, and developers who want to integrate Hue light control into other applications.

Main Features

Automatic Bridge Discovery
Automatically find your Hue Bridge device on the local network through mDNS technology without manually entering the IP address.
Easy Setup Wizard
Provide an interactive setup tool to guide you through the Bridge connection and API key creation process.
Light Control
Support basic light control functions such as turning lights on and off, adjusting brightness, and changing colors.
Zone and Room Management
You can group and control lights by room or zone for more precise light management.
Grouped Lights Support
Support combining multiple lights into a group and controlling the entire light group at once.
Advantages
Control lights through natural language without manually operating the mobile app
Support automatic discovery of Hue Bridge, simplifying the configuration process
Provide an interactive setup wizard, suitable for non - technical users
Support grouped control, allowing multiple lights to be managed simultaneously
Compatible with multiple MCP clients, offering flexible usage
Limitations
Need to physically press the Hue Bridge button to complete the initial pairing
Currently using the v1 API, some new functions may be limited
Require a local network connection and cannot be controlled remotely
