What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your ZeroTier Central API Token (and optionally your local authtoken)
- Start managing your global area networks from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — Automate the provisioning and authorization of new nodes in a secure SD-WAN.
- Network Administrators — Monitor network health and peer connectivity without leaving the command line.
- Remote Teams — Quickly join or switch between project-specific virtual networks during development.

Frequently asked questions
Can I authorize a new device to join my network using the AI?
Yes. You can use the update_central_network_member tool. Just provide the Network ID and the Member ID, and set the authorized parameter to true.
How do I check if my local ZeroTier service is running correctly?
Ask the agent to run get_local_status. It will return your node's address, version, and online status directly from the local service.
Can I see which peers my node is currently connected to?
Yes, the list_local_peers tool retrieves all known peers and their connection paths from your local ZeroTier node.
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.
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.
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.
