Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
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.

Why Cline?
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including ZeroTier tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 13 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.

Why teams choose Vinkius for ZeroTier in Cline
The ZeroTier MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 13 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cline only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
ZeroTier for Cline
Every tool call from Cline to the ZeroTier MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
