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

Use it to list devices, check identities, read device state, control supported devices, and take camera snapshots.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00051	$0.01063
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00531
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00213
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00106

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 10d 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 — 109 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 (v0.5.0 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.

Add the Tapo server:

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

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 each device's id, name, model, ip, set_capabilities, get_capabilities, and children (for power strips and the H100 hub).

check_device

Verify a device ID matches at a given IP.

npx mcporter call tapo.check_device id="<DEVICE_ID>" ip="<IP>"

get_device_state

Get a device's current state. Automatically runs check_device first.

# Device info
npx mcporter call tapo.get_device_state id="<DEVICE_ID>" ip="<IP>" capability='{"type": "DeviceInfo"}'

# Trigger logs (S200, T100, T110, T300 hub children) — newest first
npx mcporter call tapo.get_device_state id="<CHILD_ID>" ip="<HUB_IP>" capability='{"type": "TriggerLogs", "page_size": 20, "start_id": 0}'

# Last 24h temperature/humidity records (T310, T315 hub children)
npx mcporter call tapo.get_device_state id="<CHILD_ID>" ip="<HUB_IP>" capability='{"type": "TemperatureHumidityRecords"}'

control_device

Control a device. Automatically runs check_device first.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

tapo is a skill published in the GitHub repository mihai-dinculescu/tapo (799 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,063 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
