WeMo MCP server

This is a small helper that lets your AI assistant talk to your WeMo smart home devices. WeMo makes smart plugs, switches and dimmable lights that you normally control with a phone app. Once this is set up, you can just type what you want in plain English and your AI will do it for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like turn off the living room light. Your AI passes that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper finds your WeMo devices on your home network and sends the command straight to the right device, without going through any cloud service. Then it tells your AI what happened, and your AI tells you. It can also scan your network to find devices, check their current state, rename them, and read their HomeKit setup codes.

What you can do with it

• Scan your home network to find all your WeMo devices
• Turn a device on, off, or toggle it
• Set the brightness of a dimmable light
• Check whether a device is on or off and what its brightness is
• Rename a device so it shows up with a friendlier name
• Get the HomeKit setup code for a device
• List all the devices it already knows about

Try asking your AI

• “Scan for WeMo devices on my network”
• “Turn off the living room light”
• “Set the office light to 75 percent”
• “What's the status of the bedroom lamp?”

What it gives back to you

You get back short, readable answers in the chat. For a scan, you get a list of devices with their names, types, IP addresses and current state. For a status check, you get the on or off state and brightness. For a control command, you get a short confirmation that the device was turned on, off or dimmed.

Before you start

Who it's for

Anyone with WeMo smart plugs, switches or lights who wants to control them by typing plain English to their AI instead of opening an app.
