Servant

Servant is an advanced home automation system designed to provide you with an extensible and integrable solution for managing smart devices within your home. You can utilize its capabilities to automate tasks, control devices remotely, and integrate with various smart home technologies, making it an ideal choice for developers looking to create seamless home automation experiences.

Once you are connected to the Servant MCP server, you can interact with it by sending JSON-RPC commands to control your smart devices. You can issue commands such as turning lights on/off, adjusting thermostat settings, or querying the status of devices. While specific tools are currently undocumented, you can utilize the JSON-RPC interface effectively by crafting well-structured queries that align with your devices' capabilities.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (version 12 or later recommended)
• A compatible smart device or simulator for testing

Option A: Quick start with npx

You can quickly start using Servant without installing it globally by running:

npx -y @ucpdh23/servant  

Option B: Global install alternative

If you prefer a global installation, use the following command:

npm install -g @ucpdh23/servant  

When configuring Servant, ensure that your environment variables for device credentials and network settings are correctly set. Common issues include incorrect device IDs or network misconfigurations, which can prevent successful communication with your smart devices.
