Philips Hue integration

Philips Hue CLIP v2 API reached through the REMOTE Hue cloud gateway at api.meethue.com/route: list and control individual lights, control whole rooms and zones through their grouped light, create rooms and scenes, recall a scene, and read the motion and temperature sensors built into Hue devices. This is the remote API on purpose. A Hue bridge always sits on a private LAN address (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x or a link-local address), and every outbound call made by this platform is checked against an SSRF guard that refuses private, loopback and link-local hosts, so a direct call to a local bridge can never leave the platform. Authentication is OAuth2 authorization code against the Hue developer portal, and every call also carries the bridge application key in the hue-application-key header.

The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Philips Hue.Built from the 18 Philips Hue tools below, on the connection you add once.

Common Philips Hue use cases

cleaning up a room created by mistake
setting up a room after installing new bulbs
applying an evening lighting scene on a schedule
discovering light identifiers before switching them
finding the grouped light that switches an entire room
turning a light on at a set brightness from a workflow
moving a bulb to a different room after it was relocated
resolving the grouped light identifier of a specific room
checking whether a specific light is on before changing it
inspecting which lights a scene affects before recalling it

What you can do with Philips Hue

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Room, 5 operations

create_roomCreate roomPOSTCreates a Hue room and assigns devices to it.
delete_roomDelete roomDELETEDeletes a Hue room without removing its lights from the bridge.
get_roomGet roomGETReturns one Hue room with its member devices and services.
list_roomsList roomsGETLists the Hue rooms with their member devices and grouped light.
update_roomUpdate roomPUTRenames a Hue room or changes the devices assigned to it.

Scene, 4 operations

create_sceneCreate scenePOSTCreates a Hue scene storing per light settings for a room or zone.
get_sceneGet sceneGETReturns one Hue scene with its per light actions.
list_scenesList scenesGETLists the Hue scenes with the room or zone each belongs to.
recall_sceneRecall scenePUTActivates a Hue scene so its stored settings are applied to its lights.

Light, 3 operations

get_lightGet lightGETReturns the state of one Hue light.
list_lightsList lightsGETLists all Hue lights with their power, brightness and colour state.
update_lightUpdate lightPUTSwitches a Hue light on or off and sets its brightness, colour temperature or colour.

Grouped light, 2 operations

list_grouped_lightsList grouped lightsGETLists the Hue grouped lights that control a whole room or zone at once.
update_grouped_lightUpdate grouped lightPUTSwitches or dims every Hue light of a room or zone in one call.

Bridge, 1 operation

get_bridgeGet bridgeGETReturns the Hue bridge identifier and time zone.

Device, 1 operation

list_devicesList devicesGETLists the physical devices paired with the Hue bridge.

Motion sensor, 1 operation

list_motion_sensorsList motion sensorsGETLists Hue motion sensors and whether each currently detects motion.

Temperature sensor, 1 operation

list_temperature_sensorsList temperature sensorsGETLists Hue temperature sensors and their current readings.

Use Philips Hue from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Philips Hue in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Philips Hue operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
