Hooking a cloud AI agent to your home network: Muse + Tailscale + MCP drives RC cars via SDR
Dave_Maynor · x · 2026-11-10
Security researcher David Maynor shows how to let a cloud AI agent (Muse) securely reach his home network and hack his own RC cars over software-defined radio.
The pain: cloud agents sit outside NAT'd home machines (file server, dev box, lab hardware); the old workaround was "being the USB cable" — pasting commands back and forth dozens of times.
The fix: Muse ships with built-in Tailscale, which Maynor calls one of its most underrated design decisions. The key principle: letting a service you use but don't own into your home network only makes sense if access is narrow, user-approved, and revocable. MCP wires agent capabilities to concrete devices, and failures stay contained in the cloud VM.
