Google Home Now Controllable Via AI Agents

Google has launched early access to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for its Google Home ecosystem, letting AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT control smart home devices using natural language. Users can review camera summaries, monitor activity, control devices, and build custom dashboards. The feature is initially available to U.S. subscribers of Google Home Premium Advanced, a $20-per-month tier. Setup requires creating a Google Cloud project and granting agent permissions. Google has not confirmed plans for broader rollout to other subscription tiers or markets.
