Overview

What is Smart Bulb Control via MCP Server With Claude?

It is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built with Node.js and TypeScript that enables autonomous control of a smart bulb using AI-driven commands. It communicates with the bulb via UDP over a local Wi-Fi network and integrates with AI interfaces such as ChatGPT or Claude for seamless automated lighting management.

How to use Smart Bulb Control via MCP Server With Claude?

Install dependencies with pnpm install, build the TypeScript project with pnpm build, then run the server with npm start. Ensure the smart bulb is connected to the same network and configured with the correct IP address and UDP port. The server exposes MCP tools (e.g., turn_on, set_color) that AI clients can invoke.

Key features of Smart Bulb Control via MCP Server With Claude

Turn the bulb on/off via AI or command-line input
Set RGB color dynamically through structured JSON commands
Adjust brightness using a dimming percentage parameter
AI integration with MCP for automated lighting routines
Real-time color and brightness adjustments
Uses Node.js built-in dgram module for UDP communication

Use cases of Smart Bulb Control via MCP Server With Claude

Voice or text commands to turn lights on/off via an AI assistant
Automatically adjust bulb color and brightness based on time of day or mood
Create AI-driven routines that react to external events (e.g., coding activity, weather)
Integrate smart lighting control into broader IoT automation workflows

Frequently asked questions

What smart bulbs are compatible?

The project uses examples like Philips Hue bulbs that operate over a UDP server on a predefined port and connect via a private IP address on your Wi-Fi network.

How does the server communicate with the bulb?

Commands are sent as JSON-formatted UDP datagrams to the bulb’s IP address and port. The server uses Node.js’s built-in `dgram` module for socket communication.

What tools does the server provide?

Three primary tools: `turn_on` to turn the bulb on, `turn_off` to turn it off, and `set_color(r, g, b, dimming)` to adjust color and brightness. Each tool has a defined input schema.

How do I run the server?

Run `pnpm install`, then `pnpm build`, then `npm start`. The bulb must be on the same network with the correct IP and UDP port configured.

What transport does the MCP server use?

The server uses stdio transport to interface with AI platforms like Cursor or Claude for real-time control.
