tapo

tapo is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mihai-dinculescu/tapo. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A control interface for TP-Link Tapo smart-home devices such as lights, plugs, power strips, hubs, sensors, and cameras.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list devices, check identities, read device state, control supported devices, and take camera snapshots.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent a way to inspect connected Tapo devices and operate them through a Tapo MCP server on the local network.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tapo scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tapo

Control Tapo devices using npx mcporter call tapo.<tool>.

Setup

You need a Tapo MCP server (v0.6.0 or later) running on your network (HTTP transport). Bearer token auth is recommended (and required when the server binds to a non-loopback address). When connecting by LAN IP or hostname, the server's TAPO_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS must include that host, or requests get 403 Forbidden.

  1. Add the Tapo server:

    npx mcporter config add tapo http://<TAPO_MCP_IP> \
      --transport http \
      --header "Authorization=Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" \
      --scope home
    
  2. Verify:

    npx mcporter list tapo --schema
    

    You should see list_devices, check_device, get_device_state, control_device, and take_snapshot.

See references/setup.md for the full walkthrough, config management, and troubleshooting.

Tools

list_devices

List all Tapo devices on the network.

npx mcporter call tapo.list_devices

Returns discovered_at, the time the discovery that produced the list started, and each device's id, name, model, ip, set_capabilities, get_capabilities, and children (for power strips and the H100, H110, H200 and H500 hubs). The server refreshes the list in the background (every 10 minutes by default), so the call returns immediately. Until a discovery has succeeded after the server starts, it fails with "Device discovery unavailable" and the message says why: either the first discovery is still running, so wait a little longer than TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT seconds and retry, or every discovery so far has failed, in which case the message carries the reason and the retry interval, so report the reason instead of retrying. A device that joined the network after discovered_at appears after the next refresh, which is at most TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL seconds (600 by default) away. A device that answered the discovery but could not be logged in to is listed under errors with its ip and the reason. A hub or power strip whose children could not be read stays under devices with an empty children list, and the reason is under errors with the parent's ip. A Tapo device the server cannot control is listed under unsupported. When the most recent refresh failed, the result also includes refresh_error with the reason, and the devices are the ones from the last successful discovery.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
