AI Agent 现在可控制你的 Google Home 设备

智能家居用户很快就能通过 AI Agent 控制其连接至 Google Home 的设备。周三，Google 为 Google Home 生态系统的 Model Context Protocol（MCP）服务器推出了早期访问权限。这将允许任何支持 MCP 的 AI Agent——例如 Claude、Hermes、OpenClaw、ChatGPT 和 Google Antigravity——安全地与用户的智能家居设备交互，并访问其事件历史记录。

这项更新将让用户能够通过自然语言指令完成诸如查看摄像头摘要、监控智能家居活动、控制已连接设备，以及构建自定义智能家居仪表盘等任务。

要完成连接设置，用户需要创建一个 Google Cloud 项目，并将其配置为使用 Home MCP。随后，他们需要向所选 Agent 提供 MCP 配置详细信息，并要求其完成设置。之后，Agent 会要求用户登录并授予权限。（Google Home Developer Center 也将提供设置指南。）

该系统将支持 Google Home 生态中的任何设备，包括 Google Nest 门铃和恒温器，以及“Works with Google Home”（或 Matter）设备，例如灯泡。

Google 已在其业务的其他领域支持 MCP，例如 Google Cloud、数据平台、开发者工具以及 Google Workspace。相比之下，对 Google Home 的支持更直接面向正在尝试使用 AI Agent 处理日常任务的消费者。

该公司表示，MCP 访问权限将从今天开始，并在未来数周内逐步向美国的 Google Home Premium Advanced 付费订阅用户开放。这是价格更高的订阅档位，每月 20 美元，提供更长的基于事件的视频历史记录、描述性通知和详细提醒、视频历史搜索工具、每日摘要等功能。

Google 拒绝评论 MCP 是否或何时会更广泛地推出，例如面向其他订阅档位或其他市场。

Google 表示，在此期间还将通过其 Smart Home for Developers Community 征集早期采用者的反馈。

本文早期版本错误说明了推出开始时间。开始时间是今天，即周三，而不是周二。

Smart home owners will soon be able to control their devices connected to Google Home via an AI agent. On Wednesday, Google rolled out early access to its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for its Google Home ecosystem, which will allow any AI agent that supports MCP — like Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, and Google Antigravity — to securely work with their smart home devices and access their event history.

This update will allow people to use natural language instructions to do things like review their camera summaries, monitor smart home activity, control their connected devices, and build their own custom smart home dashboards.

To get the connection set up, users will need to create a Google Cloud project and configure it to use Home MCP. They will then provide the MCP configuration details to their agent of choice and ask it to set it up. The agent will then ask them to sign in and grant permissions. (A setup guide will also be offered in the Google Home Developer Center.)

The system will support any device in the Google Home ecosystem, including Google Nest doorbells and thermostats and “Works with Google Home” (or Matter) devices, like light bulbs.

Google already supports MCP in other areas of its business, including in its Google Cloud and data platforms, developer tools, and Google Workspace, for instance. Support for Google Home is targeted more directly at consumers who are experimenting with AI agents designed to handle everyday tasks.

The company said access to the MCP will roll out starting today and continuing over the coming weeks to subscribers who pay for Google Home Premium Advanced in the U.S. This is the more expensive, $20-per-month subscription tier that provides features like longer event-based video history, descriptive notifications and detailed alerts, tools to search video history, daily summaries, and more.

Google wouldn’t comment on if or when the MCP would roll out more broadly, such as to other subscription tiers or markets.

Google is also soliciting feedback from early adopters during this period by way of its Smart Home for Developers Community, it says.

An earlier version of this post misstated the rollout’s start. It is today, Wednesday, not Tuesday.
