Home Assistant ships an MCP server in Core now. I wired it into Cursor so my AI assistant could query and control 50+ devices, and hit a VLAN routing problem and a transport mismatch on the way.
Apple devices were bypassing my Pi-hole by querying 8.8.8.8 directly. I fixed it with RouterOS NAT redirection - silently rerouting all external DNS queries to Pi-hole, with round-robin load balancing across three instances.
Pi-hole shows IP addresses when there are no matching DNS records. I audited every static DHCP lease across four VLANs and added an Ansible playbook to keep device names in sync automatically.
