I was a little skeptical when I first heard about it but I went ahead and installed it, and over the past couple of weeks I've been pretty amazed by what it can do.

My Home Assistant instance is over three years old and felt pretty cluttered. Claude helped me clean it up by:

  • Reviewing my logs and flagging any issues that needed attention, in order of importance
  • Locating and removing stale entities, including orphaned adn unused devices, helpers, and scripts
  • Consolidating and removing duplicate or unused automations
  • Reorganizing my labeling schema
  • Review my backups as they were getting pretty large. They went from 2.7 GB to consistently under 550 MB. It also added entity exclusions for chatty devices and ran a forced purge calledrecorder.purge with repac: trueto immediately compact the database and apply the new filters
  • Creating a mobile dashboard based on my tablet dashboard, but better formatted for a phone

Earlier today I had it read the release notes for the 2026.3.2 core update to check if anything affected my setup. It gave me a complete summary of everything relevant to my configuration. After I installed the update, I had it check my system health and flag any breaking changes or other issues. I've attached a couple of screenshots to give better context.

If anyone is interested, here's the Github repo for the MCP Server.

Edited to add a little more info.
