## Google Home gets AI agents
Google Home is adding support for the Model Context Protocol standard. This lets various AI agents complete smart home tasks by connecting to external APIs.
## Multiple agents supported
Supported agents include Google Antigravity, Claude, Hermes and Open Claw. They'll securely work with all devices and event history in your Google Home ecosystem.
## What you can actually do
Use natural language to monitor activity, review camera summaries, control devices and build custom dashboards. Useful for homes packed with connected gadgets.
## Premium subscribers only
Early access arrives in coming weeks, but only for Google Home Premium Advanced users. That subscription costs $20 monthly or $200 yearly.
## MCP's growing adoption
Anthropic introduced MCP in 2024 and it's gained traction. Google, OpenAI, Microsoft and SpaceXAI all support it in some form.
## Security risks remain
Experts warn MCP has serious security flaws, like lack of enforced authentication. This has led to real data breaches since adoption began.
## Key takeaway

Google Home will support multiple AI agents through MCP, but the feature costs $20/month and has security concerns.
