What IP Address API MCP server does
The IP Address API MCP server gives an AI agent access to information about the request caller through the IP Address API at ip.app. Its documented data includes the caller’s public IP address, autonomous system number (ASN), geographic information, timezone, user-agent string, request headers, and TLS details.
This is suited to workflows that need to identify or describe the network and client context behind a request. For example, an agent could retrieve the caller’s public address, inspect associated ASN or geographic data, check the reported timezone, or examine request and TLS metadata. The supplied material does not describe additional data sources or operations beyond these details.
How it works
An agent invokes the server through MCP, and the server obtains caller-related information from the IP Address API. The returned information is based on the request context available to the API, rather than on a user-provided database or a separately described lookup source.
The available description does not identify the MCP transport, request schema, response schema, authentication method, or individual tool names. Applications should therefore verify those details in the server’s implementation or current documentation before planning an integration around specific tool identifiers.
Tools and capabilities
The documented capabilities cover several categories of request metadata:
- Retrieve the caller’s public IP address.
- Identify the caller’s ASN.
- Obtain geographic information associated with the caller.
- Retrieve the caller’s timezone.
- Inspect the caller’s user-agent.
- Read request headers and TLS information.
These capabilities describe the available information, not necessarily the names or number of MCP tools exposed by the implementation. The source material does not state whether the server supports parameters, filtering, batching, or any write operation.
Limitations and notes
The IP Address API MCP server’s available listing is brief, and its README is unavailable. As a result, setup commands, package requirements, environment variables, supported MCP clients, licensing, authentication, rate limits, error behavior, and transport details cannot be confirmed here.
The returned geographic, ASN, timezone, header, user-agent, and TLS data should be treated as request metadata supplied by the API. The available material does not establish accuracy guarantees, precision of location data, retention behavior, or whether every field is present for every request.
Before deployment, confirm how the IP Address API MCP server determines the caller, which metadata it forwards, and how sensitive headers or connection details are handled. Those questions matter when an agent can expose results to users or include them in logs.
