Our reading of Yeelight IoT, from the data

Yeelight IoT is a iot & home automation MCP server from yeelight, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Its endpoint requires sign-in or an API key just to list tools, so we haven't measured its token cost; we never use real credentials.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 7 days ago (2026-10-12). For comparison, 64% of iot & home automation servers are active or maintained.

With 10 GitHub stars it ranks #33 of 107 iot & home automation servers we index.

It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Install Yeelight IoT MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http yeelight-iot https://api.yeelight.com/apis/mcp_server/v1/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yeelight-iot": {
      "url": "https://api.yeelight.com/apis/mcp_server/v1/mcp"
    }
  }

    "yeelight-iot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
