It wraps the official Matter SDK and provides both server and client interfaces, making it suitable for integration into home automation platforms or standalone projects.\n\nThe package depends on aiohttp for async HTTP/WebSocket handling, aiorun for async runtime management, coloredlogs for formatted logging, orjson for efficient JSON serialization, and home-assistant-chip-clusters for Matter cluster definitions. The project is currently in maintenance mode\u2014critical bugs will be addressed, but new features are being developed in a separate rewrite, so this package is suitable for stable deployments but not for projects requiring active feature development.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is production-stable and officially certified for Matter control, making it suitable for stable home automation deployments. However, install it only if you need a Matter controller now and can accept that new features will not be added\u2014the project is in maintenance mode. If you require active feature development, monitor the replacement project for its alpha release. No known security vulnerabilities and low install friction make it a safe choice for existing integrations."},"id":"python-matter-server","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-matter-server","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-matter-server.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-matter-server/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-matter-server","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Open Home Foundation Matter Server"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":150092,"position":10975,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.1.2"}
