IP Geolocation MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the ipinfo.io API to AI agents. Geolocate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, identify ISPs and ASNs, detect VPN/proxy/Tor exit nodes, and generate interactive maps for sets of IPs.

Installation

Sign up for a free IPInfo API token at if you don't have one. The server runs with no token (free Lite tier — country and ASN basics) but most fields require a token.

Claude Desktop (one-click bundle)

Download the .mcpb bundle from the latest release and open it to install in Claude Desktop. You can set your IPINFO_API_TOKEN (and optional cache tuning) in the install dialog; leave the token blank to run in the free Lite tier. The bundle launches the server with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), so uv must be installed and on your system PATH (GUI apps don't inherit your shell's PATH).

Other MCP clients

Most MCP clients accept the following values:

Development Version

To run the latest from main:

Tools

• **ipinfo_lookup_my_ip()** — Geolocate the calling client's own IP. Takes no arguments. On stdio transports the result reflects this server's outbound IP, not the end user's.
• **ipinfo_lookup_ips(ips, detail="summary")** — Geolocate one or more specified IPs. Defaults to detail="summary", which omits heavy nested blocks (continent, flags, currency, abuse, domains) for batch token savings; pass detail="full" for every field. Capped at 500,000 IPs per call. Invalid or special-use addresses (private, loopback, etc.) are filtered with ctx.warning() and excluded from the result list, as are IPs that fail upstream — match returned IPDetails.ip values back to your input to detect what was dropped. If every attempted lookup fails, a temporary api_error is raised.
• **ipinfo_summarize_ips(ips, group_by=("country", "asn"), top_n=50)** — Geolocate and aggregate a batch into fixed-size counts and percentages by country, continent, ASN, and/or privacy flags. Use this for large log-analysis tasks where per-IP records would waste context. Returns mapped, skipped, and failed counts plus capped top-N groups.
• **ipinfo_check_residential_proxy(ip)** — Check whether an IP is a known residential-proxy exit node. Tagged enterprise — requires the IPInfo residential-proxy add-on.
• **ipinfo_generate_map_url(ips)** — Build an interactive ipinfo.io map for a set of IPs. Returns a MapResult with the URL, the count that made the map, the IPs filtered out (with reasons, capped at 100), and a truncated flag.

Plan tiers

Errors

Every tool raises a ToolError whose message is a JSON-encoded envelope with a stable code (invalid_ip_address, special_ip_unsupported, no_valid_ips, too_many_ips, auth_invalid, auth_insufficient_scope, quota_exceeded, timeout, api_error, unknown_error), a temporary flag, optional retry_after_ms, a repair hint, and a request_id correlation id. Agents should parse the message as JSON and branch on code. Each tool also advertises the subset of codes it can raise via meta.error_codes, so you can see the branch set from tool introspection.
