About Tailscale MCP Server
Connect your Tailscale network (tailnet) to any AI agent and take full control of your zero-trust infrastructure through natural conversation.
LlamaIndex agents combine Tailscale tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 13 tools through Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn. ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
What you can do
- Device Management — List all nodes in your tailnet, fetch specific device details, authorize new machines, or update device tags to organize your fleet.
- Network Security (ACLs) — Retrieve and update your HuJSON policy files (ACLs) to manage access control without leaving your chat interface.
- Authentication Keys — List, create, and delete auth keys to automate node joining or manage ephemeral server access.
- User Auditing — List all users within your tailnet and fetch detailed profile information for specific members.
- Node Cleanup — Securely delete decommissioned devices from your tailnet using their unique IDs.
The Tailscale MCP Server exposes 13 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
