Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Hearth v2How is Mum doing today? Anything I should know?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Hearth v2: an Alexa+ care companion on MCP (Streamable HTTP + MCP Apps)
Hearth lets an older adult talk to Alexa+ about medicines and mood. Their caregiver gets a calm, honest signal only when a real pattern appears, and the person is asked before anything proactive is shared.
Track: Alexa+ (MCP integration on Streamable HTTP + Agent Skill + web simulator).
Run
npm install
npm start # MCP endpoint http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp simulator http://127.0.0.1:3000
npm test # 24 protocol-level checksNode 18+ (tested on Node 22). No API keys. All data is fictional and in memory. Open the simulator at http://127.0.0.1:3000 (the Origin allow-list covers localhost and 127.0.0.1 on the chosen port).

What makes it different
Spec feature (source) | How Hearth uses it |
Streamable HTTP 2025-11-25: Origin validation, localhost bind, | Stateful sessions, 403 on foreign Origin, 400/404 per spec, bound to 127.0.0.1 |
SSE streams, event ids, | In-memory EventStore; subscribed clients are pushed |
MCP Apps ( |
|
Elicitation | Proactive alerts need the person's consent; emergencies and explicit requests bypass it |
Agent Skills |
|
Structured results |
|
Personalised routine model: the "no morning activity" threshold is median + max(60 min, 4×MAD) of the person's own first-activity times (usual 07:18, alert after 08:18), not a fixed hour.

As Amina: "Good morning", "I feel tired".
Press +3 h, then ★ Run proactive check: Alexa+ asks Amina for consent (MCP elicitation) before telling Salma.
Switch to Salma, "How is mum doing?": the dashboard renders as an MCP App; press Refresh (app-only tool).
Back to Amina: "I fell" gives the emergency-first response and an urgent alert without a consent step. Watch Live MCP traffic and push stream on the right.
Honest limits
Not tested on a real Alexa+ device or with third-party MCP hosts (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code). The simulator is our own client/host; phrase-to-tool mapping is rule-based.
The simulator's MCP Apps host uses a sandboxed
srcdociframe (opaque origin) instead of the spec's recommended double-iframe sandbox proxy on a separate origin. A production host needs the proxy.Home signals are simulated, not connected to Ring. No auth, persistence or encryption yet. Not a medical device.
To expose the server beyond localhost set
HOST,ALLOWED_ORIGINS,ALLOWED_HOSTSand add authentication first.
Roadmap
Household auth (OAuth), persistence, real Ring/IoT events, clinician-ready weekly report, Bedrock summaries (AWS mini-challenge), sandbox proxy host.
