  • TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TARGETrequiredNetwork target for device discovery (e.g. 192.168.1.255)
  • TAPO_MCP_API_KEYsecretOptional Bearer token for API authentication
  • TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUTDevice discovery timeout in seconds; must be between 1 and 60
  • TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_INTERVALSeconds between background device discoveries that refresh the device list; must be at least TAPO_MCP_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT and at most 86400 (one day); tool calls wait while a discovery runs, so a short interval delays them more often

Nice for visibility, but GitHub marks README links nofollow, so it doesn't pass authority. Use the HTML badge on your site as well.
