Target Reference Server

Matter Controller MCP Overview

The 0x1abin/matter-controller-mcp MCP server lets AI clients commission, inspect, and control Matter devices through standardized MCP tools. It initializes a Matter controller at startup and supports device management, on/off control, dimming, color, and direct cluster attribute access. The package can run over stdio, SSE, or streamable HTTP, with optional BLE commissioning and environment-based configuration. Reach for it when an MCP client needs to operate Matter-compatible lights, switches, sensors, or other devices on a Matter network.
