Google Home MCP Lets Antigravity, Claude, OpenClaw, & More Control Your Smart Home

The rollout starts with Premium Advanced subscribers and lets supported agents access device history, camera summaries and custom dashboards, Google said.

  • On Tuesday, Google announced early access to its Model Context Protocol server for the Google Home ecosystem, allowing third-party AI agents to securely interact with connected smart devices and access event history.
  • The integration allows AI agents like Anthropic's Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, and Google Antigravity to monitor activity, summarize camera footage, and control devices, providing "real-world physical context" for smart home automation.
  • Access is limited to US subscribers of Google Home Premium Advanced, costing $20 monthly or $200 annually, and users must create a Google Cloud project to configure the connection.
  • Google Home & Nest Group Product Manager Taylor Lehman warned "connecting it to Home MCP can result in unexpected or even undesired behavior," noting the system prohibits sensitive actions like unlocking doors.
  • An early access build will arrive in the "coming weeks" as Google solicits developer feedback, marking a shift toward customizable, AI-driven home automation.
