MCP server for discovering and controlling TP-Link Tapo smart home devices via AI Agents

Installation

Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).

OCI package ghcr.io/mihai-dinculescu/tapo-mcp:0.6.0
Claude Code
claude mcp add tapo-mcp -e 'TAPO_MCP_USERNAME=<your tapo_mcp_username>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_PASSWORD=<your tapo_mcp_password>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_CAMERA_USERNAME=<your tapo_mcp_camera_username>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_CAMERA_PASSWORD=<your tapo_mcp_camera_password>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TARGET=<TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TARGET>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_API_KEY=<your tapo_mcp_api_key>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS=<TAPO_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_PUBLIC_URL=<TAPO_MCP_PUBLIC_URL>' -e 'TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT=5' -e 'TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL=600' -e 'OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=<OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT>' -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/mihai-dinculescu/tapo-mcp:0.6.0

Variables d'environnement

  • TAPO_MCP_USERNAME obligatoire secret TP-Link Tapo account email
  • TAPO_MCP_PASSWORD obligatoire secret TP-Link Tapo account password
  • TAPO_MCP_CAMERA_USERNAME secret Optional camera account username; required for taking camera snapshots
  • TAPO_MCP_CAMERA_PASSWORD secret Optional camera account password; required for taking camera snapshots
  • TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TARGET obligatoire Network target for device discovery (e.g. 192.168.1.255)
  • TAPO_MCP_API_KEY secret Optional Bearer token for API authentication
  • TAPO_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS Optional comma-separated Host header allowlist; replaces the loopback-only default
  • TAPO_MCP_PUBLIC_URL Optional base URL clients reach the server at; enables short-lived snapshot links
  • TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT Device discovery timeout in seconds; must be between 1 and 60
  • TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL Seconds between background device discoveries that refresh the device list; must be at least TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT and at most 86400 (one day); tool calls wait while a discovery runs, so a short interval delays them more often
  • OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT Optional OpenTelemetry collector endpoint for tracing

See [/SUPPORTED_DEVICES.md][supported_devices] for the supported devices and feature matrix.

Rust Library

Usage

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
tapo = "0.11"

main.rs

let device = ApiClient::new("<tapo-username>", "tapo-password")
    .p110("<device ip address>")
    .await?;

device.on().await?;
Examples
export TAPO_USERNAME=
export TAPO_PASSWORD=
export IP_ADDRESS=

cargo run --example tapo_l530

See all examples in [/tapo/examples][examples].

Python Library

Usage
pip install tapo
client = ApiClient("<tapo-username>", "tapo-password")
device = await client.p110("<device ip address>")

await device.on()
Examples
cd tapo-py
uv venv # On the initial run only
uv sync --group dev --locked
uv run maturin develop # On the initial run and whenever the Rust code is modified

export TAPO_USERNAME=
export TAPO_PASSWORD=
export IP_ADDRESS=
uv run python examples/tapo_p110.py

See all examples in [/tapo-py/examples][examples-py].

MCP Server

An MCP server that exposes Tapo devices as AI-callable tools and resources via the Model Context Protocol. See [/tapo-mcp/README.md][tapo_mcp] for setup and usage.

Community Projects

  • [tapo-rest][tapo_rest] — a REST wrapper of this library that can be deployed as a service or serve as an advanced example.
  • [tapoviz][tapoviz] — audio-reactive and screen-reactive lighting for L920/L930 LED strips, with a local web UI.

Troubleshooting

See [/TROUBLESHOOTING.md][troubleshooting] for solutions to common issues.
