What it can do

Lights & rooms

LIGHTS

On/off, brightness, color and color temperature — a whole room in one command, or one lamp at a time.

Scenes

SCENES

Activate the scenes you already have, or ask for a new one — “make a cozy movie-night scene in the living room”.

Sensors

SENSORS

Read your Hue motion sensors: motion, temperature and light level, straight into the conversation.

Timers

TIMERS

“Turn off the bedroom in 20 minutes.” Delayed actions without leaving the chat.

  1. Copy the address above, and paste it in Claude under Settings → Connectors → “Add custom connector”.
  2. Sign in the first time. A normal login window opens in your browser.
  3. Link your Hue account: the first time you ask it to control a light, it replies with a personal link (valid 15 minutes). Open it, sign in at Philips, and approve.
  4. Ask away: “Dim the living room to 20% and make it warm white.”
First time with an MCP connector? Follow the guide with screenshots, also for ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex.

What you need

Philips Hue Bridge A Hue account Claude or ChatGPT (paid plan)

Your bridge must be linked to your Hue account in the Hue app (it usually already is). Everything runs through the official Hue cloud API — it works from anywhere, and there is nothing to install at home.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes, the connector is free to use. You do need a paid Claude or ChatGPT plan, since the free tiers do not support custom MCP connectors yet — and your own Philips Hue Bridge.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You copy the address at the top of the page, paste it as an MCP connector in your AI, and sign in once. There is nothing to download and nothing to maintain.

Is it safe?

You sign in with your own Hue account directly at Philips — this server never sees your password. You can revoke access at any time in your Philips Hue account.

Does it work away from home?

Yes. It uses the official Hue cloud API, the same one the Hue app uses when you are out. You can turn your lights off from the office or from the other side of the world.

Can it control someone else's lights?

No. Each user links their own Hue account, and your AI can only reach the bridges connected to the account you approved.
