Headscale (Tailscale Alternative) MCP Server for VS Code CopilotGive VS Code Copilot instant access to 18 tools to Create Api Key, Create Preauth Key, Create User, and more

Connect your self-hosted Headscale server to any AI agent and take full control of your private mesh network through natural conversation. Headscale provides an open-source, self-hosted alternative to the Tailscale control server.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Headscale (Tailscale Alternative) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 18 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

• User Management — Create, list, and delete administrative users (namespaces) to organize your network segments
• Node Control — List all connected machines, fetch detailed metadata for specific nodes, and rename or move them between users
• Session Security — Force node expirations or delete machines from the network to revoke access instantly
• Automated Registration — Generate and manage pre-auth keys (reusable or ephemeral) to allow new nodes to join without manual approval
• Route Management — Inspect and toggle network routes to manage traffic flow across your mesh

The Headscale (Tailscale Alternative) MCP Server exposes 18 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
