Tailscale RMCP

Overview

Tailscale RMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Rust MCP server and CLI for Tailscale devices, users, keys, policies, and auth. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.

It runs locally: the npm package tailscale-rmcp speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need TAILSCALE_API_KEY. The current release is v0.1.3, published under the AGPL-3.0 license, with source at jmagar/tailscale-rmcp on GitHub.

You'll find Tailscale RMCP in the Development category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
