The author demonstrates how Tailscale can provide a secure connectivity model for MCP servers by keeping them off the public internet while enabling remote access through private networks. The solution includes application-aware permissions using Tailscale's grants mechanism, allowing fine-grained control over which users can access specific MCP tools and resources. While this approach requires Go for server implementation and local client proxies, it offers a more secure alternative to exposing MCP servers publicly. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
