Steps
Install and start the server with python -m matter_server.server, noting the default websocket port of 5580.
Connect a websocket client to the server's endpoint to send RPC-style commands defined in its websocket API.
Send commands to commission a new Matter node (e.g. by pairing code) and wait for the interview to complete.
Subscribe to node state/attribute updates pushed by the server so your client stays in sync with device changes.
Use the reference client library's message shapes as a guide if you are writing a custom client instead of reusing the maintained one.
Known gotchas
Because the server persists fabric and node state independently of any client, restarting a client does not require re-commissioning devices, but resetting the server's storage does.
Multiple clients can connect to the same server/fabric concurrently; the server, not the client, owns the Matter controller identity.
