tailscale-mcp

Docker app from louij2's Repository

Overview

Tailscale MCP server, bridged over HTTP with supergateway (baked into the image) so any MCP client that speaks HTTP/SSE can use it. Lets an MCP client inspect and manage your tailnet - devices, ACLs, routes.

tailscale-mcp

Tailscale MCP server — layers the tailscale-mcp-server npm package onto docker-mcp's base.

Build

docker build -t tailscale-mcp:latest .

(builds FROM louij2/docker-mcp:latest, published from docker-mcp — build that one first if you're rebuilding the family from scratch rather than pulling it)

Run

Needs a Tailscale API key/OAuth client passed at container-start time via a bind-mounted secret file, never baked into the image or a plain env var. See docker-mcp's README for the shared stdio-to-HTTP bridge pattern this and its siblings use.

Requirements

A Tailscale API access token (admin console -> Settings -> Keys).
