# Tailscale Status

> Use this tool when you need to monitor and manage Tailscale VPN networks, or retrieve information about connected devices. It solves problems related to network status and device management by providing structured data on IP addresses, hostnames, and traffic statistics. The tool takes Tailscale CLI commands as input and outputs JSON-formatted data on network status and device details.

## Description

This MCP server enables Claude to query Tailscale status by running the Tailscale CLI on macOS. Developed as a small, focused implementation, it parses JSON output from Tailscale commands to provide structured data about connected devices, including IP addresses, hostnames, online status, and traffic statistics. The server exposes two main functions: getting overall Tailscale network status and retrieving detailed information for specific devices. Built with Python using FastMCP, it's particularly useful for monitoring and managing Tailscale VPN networks programmatically or through natural language interactions with Claude.
