iaqualink-mcp

An MCP server that exposes a Jandy iAqualink pool/spa system to Claude (or any MCP client). It wraps the iaqualink Python library.

Tools provided:

• list_systems — all systems on the account
• list_devices — all devices on a system
• get_device — state of one device
• get_system_status — system + every device's state in one call
• turn_on / turn_off / toggle_device
• set_temperature — thermostat set points
• set_light_effect / set_light_rgbw / set_light_brightness — ICL/IntelliCenter lights

Set IAQUALINK_READ_ONLY=true to disable every write tool and only allow reads.

Install

From GitHub (once pushed)

uv tool install git+https://github.com/jgonzalez007/iaqualink-mcp

From a local clone (recommended for development, and avoids uvx

having to clone/build the project on every launch)

git clone https://github.com/jgonzalez007/iaqualink-mcp
cd iaqualink-mcp
uv tool install .

Either way this registers a command called iaqualink-mcp that uvx/uv tool can run directly.

Configure Claude Desktop

Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iaqualink": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["iaqualink-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IAQUALINK_USERNAME": "you@example.com",
        "IAQUALINK_PASSWORD": "your-iaqualink-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add "IAQUALINK_READ_ONLY": "true" to env if you only want Claude to read status, never control equipment.

Then fully quit Claude Desktop from the system tray (not just close the window) and relaunch it.

Development

git clone https://github.com/jgonzalez007/iaqualink-mcp
cd iaqualink-mcp
uv sync --extra dev

Notes

• This uses a reverse-engineered/unofficial API (via iaqualink-py); Jandy/ Zodiac/Fluidra don't publish an official one. Use at your own risk.
• Credentials are read from environment variables only — nothing is written to disk by this server.
• Your claude_desktop_config.json will contain your iAqualink password in plaintext. Don't commit that file or share it, and treat it like any other credential store on your machine.
