Frequently asked questions

What configuration is required?

You must create a `.env` file with `OPENHAB_URL` (your local OpenHAB instance URL) and `OPENHAB_TOKEN` (an API token from OpenHAB).

What MCP operations are available?

Two operations are implemented: `getItemState` (returns the current state of an item) and `sendCommand` (sends a command to an item).

What are the runtime requirements?

The server is written in TypeScript and requires Node.js with npm. Dependencies are installed via `npm install`, and the project must be built before production use.

How do I run this in development?

Use `npm run dev` to start the server with automatic restart on file changes. For production, first build with `npm run build`, then run the compiled output.

Where do I find the API token?

The `OPENHAB_TOKEN` must be generated in your OpenHAB instance’s REST API settings. The server uses it for authenticated requests to the OpenHAB REST API.
