Proposed change

Documents the KNX LLM API added in home-assistant/core#178029.

The KNX integration registers an LLM API named KNX that gives a conversation agent, and through the Model Context Protocol Server also an external MCP client, tools to inspect a KNX installation and interact with the bus. The new section covers how to select the API, what the 22 tools do and what each group requires (telegram history, ETS project, data point types, live bus access), who can reach them once an administrator has attached the API, and the pagination and raw-KNX-data limits.

Type of change

  • Spelling, grammar or other readability improvements (current branch).
  • Adjusted missing or incorrect information in the current documentation (current branch).
  • Added documentation for a new integration I'm adding to Home Assistant (next branch).
  • Added documentation for a new feature I'm adding to Home Assistant (next branch).
  • Removed stale or deprecated documentation.

Additional information

Checklist

  • This PR uses the correct branch, based on one of the following:
    • I made a change to the existing documentation and used the current branch.
    • I made a change that is related to an upcoming version of Home Assistant and used the next branch.
  • The documentation follows the Home Assistant documentation standards.

Covers the new KNX LLM API: how to select it on a conversation agent or
the Model Context Protocol Server, what the 22 tools can do and what each
group needs, who can reach them once an administrator has attached the
API, and the pagination and raw-KNX-data limits.

Pull request overview

Adds documentation to the KNX integration page for the new KNX LLM API (“KNX”) intended for use by AI conversation agents and via the Model Context Protocol Server, including what the tools do, how to enable them, and key limitations.

Changes:

  • Added a new section describing how to enable and use the KNX tools for AI conversation agents and MCP clients.
  • Documented the tool groups and prerequisites (telegram history, ETS project, DPT lookup, live bus access).
  • Added KNX-tool-specific limitations to the Known limitations section.

source/_integrations/knx.markdown:496

  • "Select it on the integration" reads awkwardly in American English. "Select it in the integration" is clearer.
The KNX API is not used by default. Select it on the {% term integration %} that provides your conversation agent, such as [Anthropic](/integrations/anthropic/), [Google Generative AI](/integrations/google_generative_ai_conversation/), [OpenAI](/integrations/openai_conversation/), or [Ollama](/integrations/ollama/):

💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.

`/api/mcp/knx` requires an administrator token, so the "everyone who can
talk to that agent" model only applies to conversation agents and to the
base `/api/mcp` endpoint. Match the Model Context Protocol Server
documentation.
