What is LIFX LAN MCP?

LIFX LAN MCP is a locally running server that allows you to control the LIFX smart lighting system in your home through a Large Language Model (LLM). You can turn lights on and off, adjust colors, etc., without an internet connection.

How to use LIFX LAN MCP?

First, ensure that your LIFX bulbs are connected to the same WiFi network and install the server on your device. Then, select the method to control the lights as needed, such as listing all lights or setting the color of a specific light.

Applicable Scenarios

This tool is ideal for home users who want to manage and automate their home lighting through voice or text commands, especially those who wish to reduce their reliance on cloud services.

Main Features

List All Lights
Get a list of all LIFX lights currently connected to the same local area network and their basic information.
Get Light State
View the current state of the selected light, including color, brightness, and on/off status.
Set Light Color
Change the color of one or more lights, supporting the specification of Hue, Saturation, Brightness, and Kelvin values.
Turn On Lights
Turn on a specified group of lights and optionally change their color at the same time.
Turn Off Lights
Turn off a specified group of lights, supporting a smooth transition effect.
Advantages
Runs completely locally without relying on external cloud services
Simple to operate with fast response
Supports multiple lighting control methods
Limitations
Needs to run within the same local area network
There are security risks in HTTP mode (authentication is not enabled)

How to Use

Install and Start the Server
After downloading and installing the Node.js environment, run the following command to start the server: `npx lifx-lan-mcp`.
