Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Ipquery Tools (2)
lookup_ip
Full IP intelligence for an IPv4 or IPv6 address — geolocation (country, city, state, postal code, lat/long, timezone, local time), ISP/ASN/org, and security risk flags (VPN, proxy, Tor, datacenter, mobile + a 0-100 risk score). Keyless.
check_risk
Fraud/security view of an IP: is it a VPN, proxy, Tor exit, datacenter/hosting, or mobile network, plus a 0-100 risk score and a one-line assessment. Answers "is this IP an anonymizer / bot / datacenter, or a clean residential IP?". Keyless.
Ulid Tools (2)
generate_ulid
Generate one or more ULIDs (time-sortable unique IDs). Each is a 26-char Crockford Base32 string whose first 10 chars encode the creation time.
parse_ulid
Validate a ULID and extract its embedded creation timestamp (ISO date + epoch ms) and the random component. Keyless, offline.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
