A Go [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that connects Claude to
my smart home and media stack: Home Assistant for everything physical,
Sonarr and Radarr for the media library, and Frigate for the cameras.

It runs on my own hardware (my NAS), but exposes itself to Claude over a Cloudflare
Tunnel with Cloudflare Access in front. The server creates (or reuses) the
tunnel via the API at startup, runs `cloudflared` as a subprocess, and
validates JWTs from Access on every request.

## What's wired up

- **Home Assistant**: entity states, logbook events, calling services,
  managing automations, debugging traces.
- **Lists**: manage Home Assistant to-do lists.
- **Media**: search and queue movies (Radarr) and TV (Sonarr).
- **Frigate NVR**: list cameras, fetch live snapshots, query detection
  events.

## Why

I wanted "Claude, turn off the porch light" to actually work, end to end,
from chat. I also wanted Claude to be able to directly write home automation
scripts and interact with my NVR (Frigate).
