About ZeroTier MCP Server
Connect your ZeroTier infrastructure to any AI agent to orchestrate software-defined networks through natural language. This server bridges the gap between ZeroTier Central management and your local node operations.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple ZeroTier tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 13 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Central Management — List all virtual networks and fetch detailed configurations from ZeroTier Central.
- Member Authorization — Instantly authorize or de-authorize nodes on your private networks using their Member IDs.
- Local Node Control — Check your local node status, version, and address, or join/leave networks directly from your terminal or IDE.
- Peer Discovery — List all known peers and network paths to troubleshoot connectivity issues in real-time.
- Controller Operations — Manage standalone network controllers and update network configurations programmatically.
The ZeroTier MCP Server exposes 13 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the ZeroTier MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with ZeroTier through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 13 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
ZeroTier + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the ZeroTier MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from ZeroTier and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query ZeroTier tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from ZeroTier and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine ZeroTier data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Example Prompts for ZeroTier in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with ZeroTier immediately.
