## Description

Tailscale MCP Server provides read-only access to your Tailscale network directly from Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients. Developed by Paul Smith, this Go implementation securely exposes a curated set of Tailscale CLI commands as tools and prompts, enabling users to check network status, view connected devices, run diagnostics, ping hosts, and query exit nodes without modifying network configuration. The server includes built-in safety measures that restrict operations to a whitelist of read-only commands, making it particularly useful for network administrators who want to monitor their Tailscale environment through AI assistants while maintaining security boundaries.
