The Tailscale MCP Server provides a standardized interface for automating Tailscale network management through CLI and REST API integration. With this server, you can:

• Device Management: List, authorize, deauthorize, and delete devices; manage routes and tags

• Network Operations: Connect/disconnect networks, check status, and ping peers

• Security Controls: Manage ACLs, policy files, device tags, and network lock settings

• DNS Management: Configure nameservers, search paths, and MagicDNS preferences

• Key Management: Create, list, and delete authentication keys with specific capabilities

• Additional Features: Configure exit nodes, manage file sharing, set up webhooks, and retrieve version information

Built on Node.js runtime (requires v18+) with ES module support for executing Tailscale CLI commands and interacting with the Tailscale REST API.

Provides tools for managing Tailscale networks, including device management (listing, authorizing/deauthorizing devices), subnet route control, network connectivity operations (connect/disconnect), and peer monitoring via ping functionality.

Leverages TypeScript for type safety throughout the implementation, with Zod validation for schema validation and type checking of inputs and outputs.

Uses Zod for runtime validation of data schemas, ensuring type safety and providing descriptive error messages for invalid parameters.

1. Click on "Install Server".

2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.

3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Tailscale MCP Server list all authorized devices in my network"

That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
