Overview
Control Philips Hue smart lights (brightness, color, on/off) via an MCP server.
Installation
npx mcp-philips-hueEnvironment Variables
- HUE_BRIDGE_IP
- HUE_API_KEY
Security Notes
The server correctly retrieves sensitive information (Hue Bridge IP, API Key) from environment variables, avoiding hardcoded secrets. Input validation is present for brightness levels. Color inputs are processed by internal utility functions (hexToXy, colorNameToHex, colorTempToMireds) that appear robust. Light IDs are passed directly to the Hue Bridge API; assuming Hue Bridge IDs are safe (typically numeric or simple strings), this does not pose a direct injection risk, but in a broader context, URL component encoding for arbitrary user-supplied IDs would be a best practice. No 'eval' or direct arbitrary command execution is observed. Network calls are confined to the specified Hue Bridge IP.
