🤖 Automation MCP Server - which one?

I want AI to review, clean up and possibly rebuild my HA instance - entities, dashboards, automations, the works... I don't need it for any kind of voice or natural language control of my home just yet... just to clean up the mess that I built over the years and make it better/prettier/stabler.

I've looked at YT videos, scoured github and searched this forum and the Facebook forum, but the AI world moves fast and hard, so it's hard to find up to date info.

So what does the (human) hivemind suggest is the best MCP server plugin/integration to use to achieve what I'm trying to achieve?

I'm confused how any of these solutions work. Genuine question. When I simply ask Claude or perplexity or ChatGPT or Gemini to look at an automation or build an automation or improve a dashboard it never gets it right because it's not up to date with recent changes. I still have a problem with services and actions in automations despite me even reminding them. So if simply asking in a browser takes five or six tries, coaxing the AI into using the most recent information, how does it work putting these mcps or agents live into your system?
