Google opened early access Wednesday to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Home, so any MCP-capable AI agent \u2014 Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, Google Antigravity, and the like \u2014 can securely control devices and dig into event history, TechCrunch\u2019s Sarah Perez reported.<\/p>\n

In plain English: ask for camera summaries, monitor activity, flip switches, and build custom dashboards with natural language. Setup means creating a Google Cloud project, configuring Home MCP, handing the config to your agent, then signing in and granting permissions \u2014 with a guide in the Google Home Developer Center. Nest doorbells and thermostats are in scope, plus Works with Google Home \/ Matter gear such as bulbs.<\/p>\n

The rollout starts Wednesday, Sept. 16, and continues over the coming weeks for U.S. Google Home Premium Advanced subscribers \u2014 the $20-a-month tier that already stacks longer video history, descriptive notifications, video search, and daily summaries. Google did not say when (or if) broader plans or markets get the same agent hooks.<\/p>\n
