MCP server for Tailscale, backed by the tailscale CLI and control-plane REST API
View on GitHub ↗An MCP server for Tailscale. The node it runs on is driven through the tailscale command-line interface; the tailnet behind it is driven through the control-plane REST API.
186 tools, one per verb, with real parameters and honest annotations. Tailscale's own JSON comes back unmodified, so anything you learned from Tailscale's documentation still applies. When something fails you get a fixed error code and a hint, not a wall of standard error.
Both surfaces are optional and neither is fatal. No tailscale binary means the tools that drive this node are not offered; no control-plane credential means the tools that drive the tailnet are not. tailscale-mcp diagnose says which of the two this machine has.
On macOS that binary is the tailscale shim the Tailscale application installs into /usr/local/bin. The executable inside the application bundle is not a substitute and is not accepted as one: run outside a login shell it starts the GUI rather than answering, so the local tools would be offered and then fail on every call.
