The article, shortened and in plain language
Smart home owners will soon be able to control their devices connected to Google Home via an AI agent. On Wednesday, Google rolled out early access to its Model Context Protocol server for its Google Home ecosystem, which will allow any AI agent that supports MCP to securely work with their smart home devices and access their event history.
To get the connection set up, users will need to create a Google Cloud project and configure it to use Home MCP.
The system will support any device in the Google Home ecosystem, including Google Nest doorbells and thermostats and “Works with Google Home” (or Matter) devices, like light bulbs.
Google already supports MCP in other areas of its business, including in its Google Cloud and data platforms, developer tools, and Google Workspace, for instance. Support for Google Home is targeted more directly at consumers who are experimenting with AI agents designed to handle everyday tasks.
