universal-tplink-mcp@1.0.0
CAUTION· not startedPublisher claims: "Enables AI assistants and terminal users to inspect and administer TP-Link routers through typed MCP tools, including live LTE signal and cell/band control, connected clients and DHCP reservations, Wi-Fi and LED settings, diagnostics, SMS/USSD, and guarded disruptive actions." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Coverage
Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.- Tested
- the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
- Not tested
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
What this means for the label: Caution here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.
Before you give it your token
- It will ask for
TPLINK_PASSWORDor--guest-passwordConfiguration, not credentials: DEV, INK_SCREEN_READER, PYTHONPATH, TERM_PROGRAM, TMUX, TPLINK_COOKIE, TPLINK_ENV, TPLINK_EXPECTED_SSID, TPLINK_NO_ANIM, TPLINK_ROUTER_IP, TPLINK_SESSION_COOKIE, TPLINK_USERNAME, WS_NO_BUFFER_UTIL, WS_NO_UTF_8_VALIDATE- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the codeAlso dulith.me, gstatic.com, tailwindcss.com, react.dev — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
- What the honeypot saw
- no credential files read · no network
- What we could not test
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names dulith.me, gstatic.com, tailwindcss.com, react.dev as well as its own vendor. The guard injects TPLINK_PASSWORD only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.
Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.
Is [email protected] safe to install?
KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; URL with embedded credentials; Privileged sudo command. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
