Dreame D20 Pro Plus Server

📖 Installation Guide — quick start, manual setup, and troubleshooting

FastMCP 3.2.0 MCP server and webapp for the Dreame D20 Pro Plus robot vacuum. Uses the DreameHome cloud API; local miio is optional (hybrid mode: see below). Protocol layer extracted from Tasshack/dreame-vacuum.

Features

• MCP tools: dreame(operation=...) status, map, start_clean, stop, pause, go_home, find_robot, battery
• MCP tools: dreame_help(category), dreame_agentic_workflow(goal) with SEP-1577 sampling
• Prompts: dreame_quick_start, dreame_diagnostics
• Skills: skills/dreame-operator.md
• REST API: GET /api/v1/health, /api/v1/status, /api/v1/map; POST /api/v1/control/{cmd}
• Webapp: Dashboard, LIDAR Map, Status, Controls, Settings, Help, MCP Tools

Ports

• Backend: 10894 (REST + MCP SSE)
• Dashboard: 10895 (Vite dev server)

Prerequisites

1. Clone this repo and enter it:

   git clone https://github.com/sandraschi/dreame-mcp.git
   Set-Location dreame-mcp
   

2. Clone the Tasshack dreame-vacuum reference repo (protocol + map layer). Default ref path is D:/Dev/repos/tasshack_dreame_vacuum_ref:

   Set-Location D:\Dev\repos
   git clone https://github.com/Tasshack/dreame-vacuum tasshack_dreame_vacuum_ref
   Set-Location dreame-mcp
   

   (Adjust paths if your dev folder is not D:\Dev\repos; set DREAME_REF_PATH accordingly.)

3. Install Python deps from the dreame-mcp repository root:

   uv sync
   

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
DREAME_USER		DreameHome email or phone
DREAME_PASSWORD		DreameHome password
DREAME_COUNTRY		Cloud region, default eu
DREAME_DID		Device ID, auto-discovered if single device
DREAME_AUTH_KEY		Refresh token from previous login (speeds up startup)
DREAME_REF_PATH		Path to tasshack ref clone (default: D:/Dev/repos/tasshack_dreame_vacuum_ref)
DREAME_MCP_PORT		Backend port (default: 10894)
DREAME_IP / DREAME_TOKEN		Local miio (null token if token empty); hybrid with cloud for maps

Development and tests

• Python (repo root): uv run ruff check src tests, uv run pytest (CI sets PYTHONPATH=src; on Windows: $env:PYTHONPATH = 'src'; uv run pytest tests).
• MCP tool dreame(operation=...) returns Markdown for LLM context. For structured dicts (same shapes as the REST handlers), import fetch_status_data, fetch_map_data, and execute_control_data from dreame_mcp.portmanteau (see tests/test_map.py).
• Live tests (real robot + cloud): DREAME_LIVE=1 uv run pytest tests --live or --live flag.
• Webapp (webapp/): npm ci then npm run biome:ci and npm run build.

Connection Modes

This server supports three operational modes depending on your .env configuration:

Mode	Credentials	Commands	Lidar Map	Notes
Local	DREAME_IP	⚡ Local	❌ No	Uses the Null Token trick (000...000)
Cloud	USER + PWD	☁️ Cloud	✅ Yes	Subject to cloud latency and API rate limits
Hybrid	Both	⚡ Local	✅ Yes	Recommended: Fast control + Full visual map

The "Null Token" Trick (Bypass)

For users avoiding the DreameHome cloud for controls, you do not need to extract a secret 32-character token. By providing only the DREAME_IP, the backend automatically uses a Null Token (32 zeros). This works on many bridged or circumvention-ready firmwares (like those used with the Tasshack protocol).

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/sandraschi/dreame-mcp
cd dreame-mcp
just

This opens an interactive dashboard showing all available commands. Run just bootstrap to install dependencies, then just serve or just dev to start.

Manual Setup

If you don't have just installed:

Setup

1. Configure credentials: Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your details.

   # Typical Hybrid Setup (.env)
   DREAME_IP=192.168.0.178
   [email protected]
   DREAME_PASSWORD=yourpassword
   

2. Start the system:

   # Start backend + webapp together
   .\webapp\start.ps1
   

MCP client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dreame": {
      "url": "http://localhost:10894/sse",
      "transport": "sse"
    }
  }
}

Map (LIDAR / floor plan)

Map data does not require miIO on this server: it uses DreameHome cloud + the Tasshack ref at DREAME_REF_PATH. Local miIO is optional and often unavailable on DreameHome-only firmware.

• REST: GET http://localhost:10894/api/v1/map (same JSON as MCP dreame(operation='map')).
• Fields: image (base64-encoded image when decode/render works), raw_b64 (always on successful cloud fetch; use for custom decoders or robotics-mcp / yahboom-mcp), optional map_data, optional render_error if the PNG path failed.
• Dashboard: Map page at http://localhost:10895 shows the image when image is present.

Download path (cloud): matches Home Assistant’s Tasshack integration — resolve OBJECT_NAME (property 6.3) when available, then get_interim_file_url / get_file (signed object storage). get_device_file is only a fallback; it often returns 80001 if the cloud cannot reach the device at that moment.

Render path: raw bytes are decoded with DreameVacuumMapDecoder.decode_map and drawn with DreameVacuumMapRenderer.render_map (not DreameMapVacuumMapManager methods, which only orchestrate HA state). The ref clone’s custom_components.… packages are given proper __path__ at load time so map.py imports cleanly.

See docs/MAP_AND_ROBOTICS.md for fleet integration, the JSON contract, and operations.

Map rendering (dependencies)

The rendered image requires the Tasshack stack: py-mini-racer, numpy, Pillow, cryptography, and related pins from uv.lock. If dreame(operation='map') has render_error but raw_b64 is set, the fetch worked and only decode/render failed; check logs and dependencies.

Troubleshooting: Unable to discover the device / status 502

GET /api/v1/health includes local_miot: true only after a successful UDP miio handshake to DREAME_IP (port 54321). If you see Unable to discover the device 192.168.x.x in logs or local_miot: false, the robot did not answer the standard miio discovery on the LAN. Typical causes: DreameHome-only firmware (no or limited LAN miio), wrong IP, null token not accepted (add a real DREAME_TOKEN), or cloud login failed (fix DREAME_USER / DREAME_PASSWORD / DREAME_COUNTRY, captcha, 2FA) so you get DREAME_DID and maps. Set DREAME_DID manually in .env when you know it from the app or cloud.
