Google Home opened early access to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for US Google Home Premium Advanced subscribers. Any MCP-capable agent—Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, Google Antigravity—can securely connect to the Home ecosystem: review camera summaries, monitor activity, control Nest doorbells/thermostats and Matter lights, and build custom dashboards. Setup means creating a Google Cloud project, configuring Home MCP, then handing the config to an agent for sign-in and permissions. It covers Google Home and Works with Google Home / Matter devices, rolling out over coming weeks.
