Google will now let any AI agent run your smart home

Google is launching Google Home MCP, a new integration that allows third-party AI agents like Claude and Open Claw to access and control smart home devices and analyze home data using the Model Context Protocol. This means that users can grant permission to third-party AI tools to access their connected devices and data. Google is opening up its smart home platform to third-party developers, allowing them to integrate their AI agents and build more complex smart home experiences. This new integration is part of Google's efforts to expand its smart home ecosystem and provide more options for users.
