* examples: media picker verifies model-found links and supports AT Protocol sign-in

Drop the static catalog: the model searches, show_media_picker takes URLs,
and each link is checked with YouTube oEmbed before it renders. Setting
MEDIA_PICKER_BASE_URL requires sign-in through ATProtoProvider.

* examples: add a home view with Hue room controls to the media picker

show_home renders every Hue room with its live color, an on/off switch,
brightness presets and saved scenes, next to the verified TV picks. Light
changes go through app-only tools to the smart-home Hue server over MCP.

* auth: skip the ATProto handle page when exactly one DID is allowed

With a single allowed DID the server already knows who is signing in, so
the login step goes straight to that account's PDS. The handle page still
renders when there is an error to show.

* apps: accept a csp on FastMCPApp.ui

FastMCPApp.ui built its AppConfig without a CSP, so an app UI could not load
images or other resources from outside the renderer's defaults, unlike tools
registered with PrefabAppConfig(csp=...).

* examples: redesign the home view as compact rows lit by each room's color

Room rows take their tint, lamp glow, switch and active-scene chip from the
room's live Hue color; scene chips show each scene's palette color. Watch
rows use YouTube thumbnails, which the UI's CSP now allows. Tokens and row
treatment follow plyr.fm, scene swatches follow after-hours.

* examples: keep home view room state on the client so taps update it

Level, scene, power and color highlights were rendered from server data,
so they stayed on the old values after a tap. Each room now holds its
state client-side; taps update it before the command is sent, and the
glow, readout and header count follow it.

* auth: resolve ATProto handles through DNS and re-verify the DID after sign-in

Handles now resolve from their own _atproto TXT record or well-known file
instead of a Bluesky AppView. After the token exchange the provider resolves
the DID, PDS and authorization server again and requires the same issuer,
and the handle claim is set only when the handle resolves back to the DID.
The docs describe handles, DIDs and hosting as separate layers.

* auth: build ATProtoProvider on atproto-oauth and OAuthProxy callback hooks

The provider no longer carries its own AT Protocol client: the new
`atproto` extra installs atproto-oauth, which handles resolution, PAR,
DPoP, token exchange, re-verification and revocation. OAuthProxy's
upstream callback now calls two overridable steps, the callback's
transaction ID and the code exchange, so the provider plugs into them
instead of replacing the callback.

* examples: reduce the media picker to the picker

The home view, Hue controls and AT Protocol sign-in moved to a separate
deployment; thumbnails need FastMCPApp.ui(csp=), which lands separately.
Changes outside examples/ go back to main.

* examples/media_picker: drop MEDIA_PICKER_ACTUATOR_SOURCES

YouTube is the only source the picker verifies, so a required setting whose one legal value is youtube only added configuration. A device that can't play an item now reports it through the actuator's error, which the picker surfaces as a playback failure; a test covers that path.

* examples/smart_home: connect to the Fire TV on first use

The lifespan opened the ADB connection at startup and raised when the TV was unavailable, so a sleeping TV stopped the whole server, lights included. FireTVConnection now connects on the first tool call, reconnects on later calls, and raises a ToolError while the TV is unreachable.

* examples/smart_home: explain "No route to host" as macOS Local Network privacy

Restarting the ADB daemon only appeared to fix it because the restarted daemon inherited a different launching app's permission. Also document that a sleeping TV no longer blocks startup.

* examples/media_picker: name unsupported links as non-YouTube, drop client-specific copy

Links the picker can't parse are reported as "aren't YouTube videos" instead of "can't play on this device", which was wrong without an actuator; state carries unsupported_count. The empty state and "more like this" no longer mention Claude or a home view the example doesn't have.

* examples/smart_home: describe the picker and connection lifetimes as they are

The README still called the picker's input a sample catalog, and both docs described every device connection as pooled at startup; the Fire TV now connects on first use.

smart home MCP

Control Philips Hue lights and an Amazon Fire TV through one FastMCP server. The example demonstrates namespaced device tools, connections owned by each server's lifespan, typed receipts, and reading device state after a command. It uses phue2 for Hue's local V2 API and Home Assistant's androidtv backend for Fire TV.

run

Requires Python 3.12+, uv, and credentials for your Hue bridge. From the repository root:

cd examples/smart_home
uv sync

Create .env in this directory:

HUE_BRIDGE_IP=<bridge IP>
HUE_BRIDGE_USERNAME=<bridge application key>
HUE_BRIDGE_CERTIFICATE=/absolute/path/to/trusted-bridge.pem

For Fire TV, also set FIRE_TV_HOST and FIRE_TV_ADB_SERVER_IP=127.0.0.1. Enable ADB debugging, approve this computer on the TV, and connect the ADB server to the device first. The setup and operation guide covers certificate trust, direct ADB authentication, TV-only startup, and troubleshooting.

uv run smart-home

This is a stdio MCP server. Configure your client to run that command with this directory as its working directory. Discover hue_ and fire_tv_ tools in the client, read the target device, issue a command, and read it again. Write receipts confirm command acceptance; they do not prove the resulting device state.

design

src/smart_home/hub.py mounts independent lights/ and fire_tv/ servers. Each owns its transport and connection lifespan. The hub requires Hue configuration; the Fire TV server can also run independently.

An agent can find a current daylight wildlife feed and pass its video ID to fire_tv_play_youtube_video without changing this example. The optional media picker shows the links the agent found, verified, and plays the user's choice through fire_tv_play_media.

Schedules, presence rules, and durable desired state belong to the calling application or workflow engine. This example provides the device operations that those policies compose. It does not require Pi or a particular UI.

develop

From this directory:

uv run pytest
uv run scripts/pi_harness.py --json

Tests dispatch real MCP calls against simulated devices. The optional Pi harness requires Pi and pi-mcp-adapter and defaults to read-only Hue inspection. Hardware verification is separate; see the operation guide for workflows and the limits of status readback.
