While waiting for another developer to finish something for a project I’m working on, I’m working on an MCP server in Go that provides a Home Assistant voice assistant with basic functionality that is missing from the default feature set, like telling jokes, flipping a coin, choosing between N options, making equations, and other things I consider essential for a voice assistant.
I’ll probably go further and include things like Apple Weather support[1], and Plex, YouTube, and Kagi search, if I have the time.
[1]: Because in Home Assistant you can only ask about the weather in the location you have configured, not in other locations. At least that’s how it works here at home.
