What it declares, asks for and runs, in full
Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.
Package
npm @tailscale-mcp/tailscale-mcp (@tailscale-mcp/tailscale-mcp on npm)
- npm downloads/week: 927 (2026-10-12)
- npm downloads/month: 1 240 (2026-10-12)
- Latest version on npm: 2.0.3, published 2026-10-10
No known vulnerabilities in OSV for 2.0.3 (checked 2026-10-12)
npm facts come from the public npm registry (registry.npmjs.org, api.npmjs.org). Each figure is the registry's own and is never added to another. A registry that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero. Vulnerability records come from OSV.dev (CC BY 4.0) and concern the declared version only; a listing that declares no version gets no answer. We do not scan code.
Works with
- Claude Code
- Codex
- Cursor
- VS Code
- Copilot CLI
From the marketplaces that list it and the MCP transport it declares, as each client documents them. We do not test plugins.

As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "TAILSCALE_API_KEY=<YOUR_TAILSCALE_API_KEY>" --env "TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET>" --transport stdio tailscale-mcp -- npx -y @tailscale-mcp/tailscale-mcp[mcp_servers.tailscale-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@tailscale-mcp/tailscale-mcp"]
[mcp_servers.tailscale-mcp.env]
TAILSCALE_API_KEY = "<YOUR_TAILSCALE_API_KEY>"
TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET = "<YOUR_TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET>"{
"mcpServers": {
"tailscale-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [

],
"env": {

"TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "<YOUR_TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: TAILSCALE_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE, TAILSCALE_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE, TAILSCALE_MCP_PRESET, TAILSCALE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, TAILSCALE_TAILNET.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
