What is the Tailscale MCP Server?

Connect your Tailscale network (tailnet) to any AI agent and take full control of your zero-trust infrastructure through natural conversation.

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.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Tailscale API Key
  3. Start managing your private network from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more jumping between the Tailscale admin console and your terminal. Your AI acts as a network administrator that understands your infrastructure context.

Who is this for?

  • DevOps Engineers — quickly check node statuses, manage tags, and generate auth keys for CI/CD pipelines.
  • Security Teams — audit tailnet users and inspect or update ACL policies to ensure zero-trust compliance.
  • IT Administrators — authorize new devices and clean up old nodes from the network via simple commands.

Why Claude Code?

Claude Code registers Tailscale as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 13 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Tailscale data drives decisions without human intervention.

  • Single-command setup: claude mcp add registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart

  • Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks

  • Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Tailscale tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts

  • Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I update my network's security policy (ACL) using this server?

Yes! You can use get_tailnet_acl to view the current HuJSON policy and update_tailnet_acl to apply changes directly to your tailnet configuration.

02

How do I authorize a new device that is pending approval?

Use the authorize_device tool with the specific device_id and set the authorized parameter to true. This allows you to manage node entry without the admin console.

03

Is it possible to generate temporary authentication keys for my servers?

Absolutely. Use the create_auth_key tool. You can optionally provide capabilities like 'ephemeral' or 'reusable' in the JSON payload to define how the key should behave.

04

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

05

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

06

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.

07
