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.

FAQ

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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
