HomeShed is a self-hosted Model Context Protocol tool server. Add it to your AI assistant and it can check your containers, work with git, remember what it learned across sessions, spot bugs it has seen before, and solve logic problems: 173 tools behind one endpoint that you run and control.

New in 0.7.0: one-click sign-in for Claude.ai and other MCP apps

Add HomeShed to your chat app in one step: paste the address, sign in, approve the 6-digit code on your Control Panel. No key to copy and paste. Every app gets its own access level, limits and an off switch, and your memory, tools and keys stay on your own machine. It's the standard MCP sign-in (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE), so any MCP app that supports sign-in can connect; tested with Claude's custom connectors. Free, in the open-source core. Set it up

Why people use it

Free and open source (Apache-2.0). One install, 173 tools, no account, no GPU.

New in 0.7.1

• Text to speech. Turn text into spoken MP3s with Google's Chirp 3 HD voices, made for audiobooks. It stays inside Google's free 1 million characters a month unless you allow more (guide: Control Panel > Guide > Google text to speech).
• Trusted browsers for sign-in. Approve a chat app once and tick "Trust this app on the browser that asked": its later sign-ins from that browser go straight through for 90 days. Remove any of them on the API page.
• Checked code work (Pro). In HomeShed Pro's to-do list, an item marked for checking is done only when a different session verifies the commit; a check from the builder's own model family also needs a second opinion from another family.
• A faster Control Panel. Each page loads the first time you open it, so the panel opens quicker and does less while idle.

New in 0.7.0

• One-click sign-in for Claude.ai and other MCP apps. Paste the address, sign in, approve the 6-digit code on your Control Panel: no key to copy. Every app gets only the tools you choose, its own limits and an off switch. Your HomeShed, its memory and its tools, now reach your chat apps, not just the ones on your computer. It's the standard MCP sign-in, tested with Claude's custom connectors (how). HomeShed Pro adds per-app tool sets, a savings report and approve-in-chat cards on top.
• Cheaper on every turn: the front door. Instead of loading 160+ tool descriptions, an app sees five tools that find and run all the others. Replies can be cut to just the fields you need, or kept on the server and read a page at a time, and pictures arrive as real images, not text. Fewer tokens, and small models pick the right tool more often. Switch it per app on the Control Panel's API access page.
• Choose when Claude Code compacts. One setting sets how full a chat gets before Claude Code summarises it.
• See what happened to a request. approvals.status tells your AI whether something it asked for was approved, declined or is still waiting, and who decided.
