Loxone MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to Loxone Miniserver smart home systems.

What it does

• Control Loxone devices (lights, blinds, scenes, …) from any MCP-capable AI assistant
• Read real-time device states via WebSocket
• Browse built-in Loxone structure file documentation
• Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, OpenCode, Zed, and more

Prerequisites

• Java 21+
• Loxone Miniserver (Gen 1 or Gen 2)
• An AI assistant that supports MCP

Quick Start

Option A — Configurator (recommended for non-technical users)

Download the pre-built desktop app from the Releases page (configurator-v* tag). It will check Java, download the JAR, and configure your MCP clients automatically.

macOS: The DMG is not code-signed. On first open, right-click the app → Open, then confirm. Or run xattr -cr /Applications/Lox-MCP\ Configurator.app.

Option B — Manual JAR

1. Download the latest lox-mcp-*-all.jar from Releases.
2. Set credentials as environment variables:

   export LOXONE_HOST=http://192.168.1.77
   export LOXONE_USER=your_username
   export LOXONE_PASS=your_password
   

3. Add to your MCP client config:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "loxone": {
         "command": "java",
         "args": ["-jar", "/path/to/lox-mcp-all.jar", "--stdio", "--resources-as-tools"],
         "env": {
           "LOXONE_HOST": "http://192.168.1.77",
           "LOXONE_USER": "your_username",
           "LOXONE_PASS": "your_password"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

Use --resources-as-tools if your client has limited resource support (recommended for most clients).

For HTTP/SSE transport, custom config files, Bitwarden credentials, and per-client setup details see docs/SETUP.md.
