tplink-deco-mcp-server

Model Context Protocol server that exposes a TP-Link Deco mesh Wi-Fi network as tools an LLM client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) can call. It talks to the router on your local network through the tplink-deco-api SDK — no cloud account involved.

Tools

Tools that change settings are annotated as such, so clients can ask for confirmation before running them.

Related MCP server: tplink-mcp

Install

pip install tplink-deco-mcp-server

Requires Python ≥ 3.14 and a Deco router reachable on the local network.

Configuration

The server reads the router credentials from environment variables:

Use with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deco": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["tplink-deco-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DECO_HOST": "192.168.68.1",
        "DECO_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run with Docker

A multi-arch image (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) is published to GitHub Container Registry on every release, tagged with the release version (1.2.0, 1.2, 1) and latest:

docker run -d --name deco-mcp \
  -e DECO_HOST=192.168.68.1 \
  -e DECO_PASSWORD=your-password \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  ghcr.io/roquerodrigo/tplink-deco-mcp-server:latest

The container serves Streamable HTTP at http://localhost:8000/mcp, with a health endpoint at /healthz:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deco": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The HTTP endpoint has no authentication of its own: keep it on a trusted network or behind a reverse proxy that authenticates. To use stdio instead, run the server binary as the container command:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deco": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-e", "DECO_HOST", "-e", "DECO_PASSWORD",
        "ghcr.io/roquerodrigo/tplink-deco-mcp-server:latest",
        "tplink-deco-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DECO_HOST": "192.168.68.1",
        "DECO_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Command-line options

tplink-deco-mcp-server [--transport {stdio,streamable-http}] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]
                       [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}]

stdio is the default transport. --host (default 127.0.0.1) and --port (default 8000) apply to streamable-http.
