Summary
Built on top of the established Tapo library that supports TP-Link's entire smart home lineup, from plugs and bulbs to sensors and cameras. Exposes discovery and control operations through MCP, letting Claude turn devices on and off, adjust colors and brightness, read energy consumption, and manage device state. Reach for this when you want conversational control over your Tapo devices or need to build automations that combine smart home actions with other AI capabilities. The underlying library has been battle-tested across dozens of device models (L530 bulbs, P110 plugs, T300 sensors, etc.), so compatibility is solid. Available as a container, making deployment straightforward if you're already running MCP servers.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Tapo
Unofficial Tapo API Client. Works with TP-Link Tapo smart devices. Tested with light bulbs (L510, L520, L530, L535, L610, L630), light strips (L900, L920, L930), plugs (P100, P105, P110, P110M, P115), power strips (P300, P304M, P306, P316M), hubs (H100), switches (S200B, S200D, S210), sensors (KE100, T100, T110, T300, T310, T315) and cameras (C210, C220, C225, C325WB, C520WS, TC40, TC70).

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.
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 for setup and usage.
Community Projects
