Fetches Home Assistant snapshots from ha-data/ via fetch-ha-data.sh, checking freshness before reading automations, scenes, scripts, configuration.yaml, customize.yaml, logs, or other saved config files. Use when the MCP server does not expose these files and you need the local snapshot to inspect the current setup.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# HA Config Fetch ## When to use - The request involves existing automations, scenes, scripts, `configuration.yaml`, or logs. - The MCP server does not expose these — `ha-data/` snapshots are the only source. ## Freshness gate Before reading any file from `ha-data/`, run: ```bash find ha-data/ -name '*.yaml' -mmin +1440 -print -quit | grep -q . && echo STALE || echo FRESH ``` - **STALE, missing, or debugging request** → run the fetch step below. - **FRESH and not a debugging task** → read directly, skip the fetch. Debugging requests (troubleshooting, log analysis, error investigation) always re-fetch — logs and state change frequently. If `ha-data/` does not exist at all, treat it as stale. ## Fetch step `fetch-ha-data.sh` sits in this skill's folder and writes `ha-data/` into the current directory, so run it by its full path with the working directory at the project root. In a clone of this repository that is: ```bash .claude/skills/ha-config-fetch/fetch-ha-data.sh ``` When the skill comes from an installed plugin, use the skill folder's absolute path instead. Optional: override the config directory (default `/config`): ```bash …

How to install
mdr add calexandre/homeassistant-assistant/ha-config-fetch@sha256:66fd8d4158227d30The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.96c4481, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
