Access and checks

How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • Controls a real device at home and triggers smart home scenarios
  • Stores a Yandex account access token locally in a JSON file

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server uses an unofficial Yandex Station protocol modeled on the AlexxIT/YandexStation project and gives an agent the account's speaker list, text commands to Alice, speaking text and notifications at a chosen volume, playback and volume control, timers, alarms, reminders, weather and news, and running Yandex Smart Home scenarios. Authorization goes through a Yandex QR code, and tokens are saved locally to a JSON file. For cloud control the server creates or updates a service scenario in the account named like HA <device_id>.

Who it is for. For people who want to control a Yandex Station from Claude, Codex or another MCP agent: music, timers, and smart home scenarios.

Good fit when

  • You want to control an Alice speaker with voice-like commands from a text agent
  • You need timers, alarms, weather and news via the Station without opening the app
  • You need to trigger existing Yandex Smart Home scenarios from an agent

Not a fit when

  • You need an official, stable Yandex API: this is an unofficial protocol that can change at any time
  • You are not willing to go through Yandex QR authorization and store a token locally

Example request

Turn on Europa Plus radio on the speaker and set the volume to 40 percent

MCP

Transport
stdio
Authentication
OAuth

Environment variables

YANDEX_TOKEN_FILE required, secret
Path to the local token file after QR authorization.
YANDEX_STATION_ID
Default speaker ID when there are several.

Limitations

This is an unofficial Yandex API based on reverse engineering, and it can break when Yandex changes something on its side. Tokens are stored only locally in yandex_tokens.json and must not end up in public repos. Cloud mode does not always know exactly what is playing, though it sends commands reliably. Cloud control creates a service scenario in the account named like HA <device_id>.

How to disable. Remove the yandex-station server from your MCP client config, delete the yandex_tokens.json file, and remove the HA <device_id> service scenario in the Yandex app with Alice.

FAQ

Is this an official Yandex API?

No, the README explicitly calls it unofficial and based on approaches from the AlexxIT/YandexStation project.

How does authorization work?

Via a QR code: the auth_qr.py script shows a link, and after signing in to Yandex a local token file is created.

README in short

The README lists the server's capabilities: speaker list, text commands, volume-aware TTS, playback control, timers, alarms, weather, news and smart home scenarios, honestly calls the protocol unofficial, and warns about token storage. It gives a venv and requirements.txt install, QR authorization, verification via a station list and a command, and a Codex connection example through config.toml.
