## Description
MCP server that provides comprehensive WHOIS lookup capabilities using the IP2WHOIS API. This server allows AI agents to query domain registration details, including expiry dates, registrar information, and registrant data.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **get_whois** — Look up WHOIS data for a domain name.
- **get_hosted_domains** — Query for the list of hosted domain names by IP address.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `uvx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-ip2whois": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mcp-ip2whois"],
    "env": {
      "IP2WHOIS_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `IP2WHOIS_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

# IP2WHOIS MCP Server
[![mcp-ip2whois MCP server](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/ip2whois/mcp-ip2whois/badges/score.svg)](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/ip2whois/mcp-ip2whois)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive WHOIS lookup capabilities using the **IP2WHOIS API**. This server allows AI agents to query domain registration details, including expiry dates, registrar information, and registrant data. This server also supports query on hosted domains by IP address.

## Features

-   **Domain Lookup**: Retrieve detailed WHOIS data for any domain name.

-   **Hosted Domains Lookup**: Retrieve hosted domains data for any IP address.
    
-   **Comprehensive Data**: Includes domain age, nameservers, registrar info, and administrative/billing contact details.
    
-   **FastMCP Framework**: Built using the high-performance FastMCP Python framework.

## Requirement

This MCP server requires an API key to work. You can [sign up](https://www.ip2location.io/sign-up) for a free API key and enjoy up to 500 queries per month.

The setup also use `uv`, which can be install by following [the guide](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server#set-up-your-environment).

## Setup

Follow the steps to use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:
 1. Setup the `uv` package manager, you can once again refer to [the guide](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server#set-up-your-environment) to do so.
 2. Make sure you have installed the Claude Desktop, if you haven't, kindly download from [here](https://claude.ai/download) for Windows and MacOS users, or follow [this guide](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/client) for Linux user.
 3. Open the `claude_desktop_config.json` in your choice of editor, if you do not having one yet, follow [this guide](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/server#testing-your-server-with-claude-for-desktop) to create one.
 4. Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ip2whois": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ip2whois"],
      "env": {
        "IP2WHOIS_API_KEY": "<YOUR API key HERE>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
 5. To get your API key, just [login](https://www.ip2location.io/log-in) to your dashboard and get it from there. Replaced the `<YOUR API key HERE>` in above with your actual API key.
 6. Restart the Claude Desktop after save the changes, and you should see it appear in the `Search and tools` menu.

## Usage

To query the WHOIS information, just enter your query about the domain in a chat in Claude Desktop. Some of the example query will be:

- Who is the registrar of the (domain)?
- Who is the owner of (domain)?
- What is the WHOIS for (domain)?

For instance, below is the result of the domain google.com:

![The output of the domain google.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ip2whois/mcp-ip2whois/HEAD/example.png "The output of the domain google.com")

To query for the hosted domains by IP address, just enter your query about the IP in a chat in Claude Desktop. Some of the example query will be:
- What domains did (IP) have?
- What are the domains in (IP)?
- What's the domain owned by (IP)?

In Claude Desktop, the model will automatically generate the output based on the result returned by IP2WHOIS MCP server.

## Environment Variable

`IP2WHOIS_API_KEY`
