# MCP Server for IP address geolocation and network data from IPLocate.io

[](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=iplocate&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IC15IEBpcGxvY2F0ZS9tY3Atc2VydmVyIiwiZW52Ijp7IklQTE9DQVRFX0FQSV9LRVkiOiIifX0%3D)

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [IPLocate.io](https://iplocate.io) - providing comprehensive IP address intelligence including geolocation, network information, privacy detection, and abuse contacts.

## Features

This MCP server provides tools to look up detailed information about IP addresses:

- **Geolocation**: Country, city, coordinates, timezone, postal code and more
- **Network Information**: ASN name, number, type, network range, ISP information
- **Privacy & Security**: VPN detection, proxy detection, Tor exit nodes, hosting providers
- **Company Data**: Organization name, domain, business type
- **Abuse Contacts**: Email, phone, and address for reporting malicious activity

## Requirements

To follow our quick start setup instructions, you will need:

- Node.js 18 or higher
- npm
- A compatible MCP client. For example, Cursor, Claude Desktop.

## Quick Start

The easiest way to use this MCP server is through your MCP client. Simply configure your client with the setup instructions below:

### Configure your MCP client

Cursor

One-click setup:

[](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=iplocate&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IC15IEBpcGxvY2F0ZS9tY3Atc2VydmVyIiwiZW52Ijp7IklQTE9DQVRFX0FQSV9LRVkiOiIifX0%3D)

Manual configuration:

1. In your project directory, create the configuration:

   ```bash
   mkdir -p .cursor
   touch .cursor/mcp.json
   ```

2. Add the following to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "iplocate": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@iplocate/mcp-server"],
         "env": {
           "IPLOCATE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Replace `your_api_key_here` with your actual API key from [IPLocate.io](https://iplocate.io/signup).

Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop settings
   - On macOS: `Cmd + ,`
   - On Windows: `Ctrl + ,`

2. Go to the "Developer" tab and click "Edit Config"

3. Add the IPLocate server configuration:

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "iplocate": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@iplocate/mcp-server"],
         "env": {
           "IPLOCATE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Replace `your_api_key_here` with your actual API key from [IPLocate.io](https://iplocate.io/signup).

VS Code (Preview)

1. Create the VS Code MCP configuration:

   ```bash
   mkdir -p .vscode
   touch .vscode/mcp.json
   ```

2. Add the following to `.vscode/mcp.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "servers": {
       "iplocate": {
         "type": "stdio",
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@iplocate/mcp-server"],
         "env": {
           "IPLOCATE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Replace `your_api_key_here` with your actual API key from [IPLocate.io](https://iplocate.io/signup).
