Google launches early-access MCP server letting MCP-capable AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT control Google Home devices.

Google rolled out early access to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Home, allowing agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, OpenClaw, and Google Antigravity to control Nest devices, review camera summaries, monitor activity, and access event history. Setup requires a Google Cloud project configured for Home MCP plus user permission grants. Access begins this week for US Google Home Premium Advanced ($20/month) subscribers, with broader rollout timing unannounced.

Key facts
  • Supports all Google Home and Matter devices, including Nest doorbells and thermostats
  • Agents use natural language to control devices, monitor activity, and build dashboards
  • Initial rollout limited to Google Home Premium Advanced subscribers in the US
  • Google already supports MCP in Cloud, Workspace, and developer tools
