Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the MCP Server integration documentation by removing an outdated limitation and refining the introductory example of possible use cases.

  • Enhanced the intro paragraph with a new example for controlling lights.
  • Removed the note about missing built-in tools for fetching device state.
  • Adjusted wording around exposing Google Tasks as a tool.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

source/_integrations/mcp_server.markdown:19

  • [nitpick] The example sentence combines two actions and includes a comma before the conjunction connecting only two items, which can reduce readability. Consider splitting into two sentences or removing the comma for clarity.
The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to <abbr title="Large Language Models">LLMs</abbr>. The **Model Context Protocol Server** (MCP) integration enables using Home Assistant to provide context for <abbr title="Model Context Protocol">MCP</abbr> LLM Client Applications. For example, you can control your lights from Claude Desktop, or expose your Google Tasks To-do list as a tool.

source/_integrations/mcp_server.markdown:187

  • Since the live state fetching tool was added earlier, consider adding a table row (for example “| State fetching | ✅ |”) to reflect that built-in state fetch is now supported.
