IPGeolocation.io MCP Server

Official MCP server for IPGeolocation.io. Includes 16 MCP tools: IP geolocation, threat/VPN/proxy detection, timezone lookups and conversions, sunrise/sunset/moon data, ASN details, abuse contacts, and user-agent parsing. Seven tools work on the free plan (1,000 credits/day). Paid plans unlock all 16 plus bulk endpoints (up to 50,000 items per call; default 1,000, configurable via IPGEOLOCATION_MCP_MAX_BULK_ITEMS).

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex, Cline, Glama, and any other MCP client.

Quick Start

1. Create a free IPGeolocation API key

2. Cursor users can install in one click:

   

3. Add this to your MCP client config (see Install by Client below for the exact config file path for your client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipgeolocation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart your client.

5. Test it: ask "Where is 8.8.8.8 located?"

Install by Client

Requirements

• Node.js 22 or later
• npx available in your terminal
• An IPGeolocation.io API key for most tools

get_my_ip works without an API key. Everything else requires one.

Sign up for a free IPGeolocation API key

Codex CLI

codex mcp add ipgeolocation --env IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> -- npx -y ipgeolocation-io-mcp
codex mcp list

Start a new Codex session after adding the server.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipgeolocation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. We also ship manifest.json for clients that support MCP Bundles.

Cline

Open MCP Servers panel > Configure > Advanced MCP Settings. Add to cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipgeolocation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cline after saving.

Cursor

One-click install:

Or add to .cursor/mcp.json manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipgeolocation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after saving.

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipgeolocation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf after saving.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "ipgeolocation": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
        "env": {
          "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart VS Code after saving.

Glama

You can try the server on Glama directly. Only IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY is required. Leave other environment variable fields empty unless you want to change cache, timeout, or output limits.

If you don't have a key yet, create a free IPGeolocation API key.

Any Other MCP Client

Use this config:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "ipgeolocation-io-mcp"],
  "env": {
    "IPGEOLOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
  }
}

Try these after setup:

Tools by Plan

Free Plan

1,000 credits per day. These 7 tools are available:

Paid Plans

All 16 tools. Paid plans also add network, company, and extended asn fields to lookup_ip, plus the include parameter for security, abuse, hostname, liveHostname, hostnameFallbackLive, user_agent, geo_accuracy, dma_code, or *.

Credit math for lookup_ip with include:

For current plan details and pricing, see the IPGeolocation pricing page.

Tool Reference

lookup_ip

Single IP or domain lookup. Free and paid. 1 credit.

Use this when you need location, timezone, currency, or ASN for one IP address. On paid plans you can add include modules to pull security, abuse, or hostname data in the same call, which avoids extra requests.

Free plan returns base location, country metadata, currency, timezone, and basic ASN. Paid plans add network, company, extended ASN, and the include parameter. Note that domain lookups require a paid plan.
