IPLocate MCP server

by iplocate · official

Your AI can look up where an IP address is, who owns it, and whether it is a VPN or proxy.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Where is the IP address 8.8.8.8 located?”, the IPLocate MCP server connects it to IPLocate, and you get back A plain answer in your chat.

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to IPLocate, a service that keeps information about IP addresses. An IP address is the number every device uses to talk on the internet, a bit like a postal address for a computer. If you ever need to check where a visitor came from or whether a signup looks suspicious, this is for you.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI one new skill. This helper gives it a connection to IPLocate, so when you ask about an IP address, your AI can actually look it up instead of guessing. You install it once, and after that it just works quietly in the background.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like where the address 8.8.8.8 is located. Your AI passes that question to this helper program running on your computer. The helper sends the address to IPLocate and waits for the answer. When the answer comes back, your AI reads it and explains it to you in normal words. You never see the technical part, just the result in your chat window.

What you can do with it

  • Find the country, city, and timezone of an IP address
  • Check whether an IP address is a VPN, a proxy, or a Tor exit node
  • See which company or internet provider owns an IP address
  • Look up the network range and registration details behind an address
  • Get the abuse contact email and phone for reporting bad traffic
  • Compare two IP addresses side by side
  • Look up your own current IP address when you leave the field blank

Try asking your AI

  • “Where is the IP address 8.8.8.8 located?”
  • “Is 203.0.113.45 a VPN or a proxy?”
  • “Who owns the IP address 1.1.1.1 and what company is behind it?”
  • “Compare 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 for me”

What it gives back to you

You get a short, readable answer in the chat, like the country and city, the internet provider name, or a simple yes or no on VPN and proxy checks. If you ask for the full picture, your AI will lay out the company name, network range, and abuse contact details as a list. Nothing is changed anywhere, it is all just reading and reporting back.

Before you start

What you need

  • The Claude desktop app or another app that supports MCP servers, such as Cursor or VS Code
  • Node.js 18 or newer installed on your computer
  • A free IPLocate account and API key from iplocate.io/signup (an API key is a kind of password for apps; the site gives you one for free)

Good to know

Every lookup uses up your daily quota, so a free account gives you 1,000 lookups a day and no key gives you 50.
