This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that queries the IP2Location.io API to retrieve geolocation, network, and security proxy data for a given IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Security Assessment
The overall risk is Low. The server makes external network requests via asynchronous `httpx` to fetch geolocation data, which is its intended function. It requires users to provide their own API key through standard environment variables, meaning there are no hardcoded secrets or credentials in the codebase. A light code scan of 5 files found no dangerous patterns, shell command execution, or requests for excessive local permissions. The only data exposed is the IP address being queried, which is sent to the third-party IP2Location.io service.
Quality Assessment
The project demonstrates strong basic health and active maintenance, with its most recent push occurring today. It is backed by the MIT license, ensuring clear permissions for open-source use and modification. While the tool has a relatively small community footprint with 14 GitHub stars, it leverages standard, reliable libraries (`FastMCP` and `httpx`). The included documentation is clear, providing straightforward setup instructions and configuration examples for easy integration.
Verdict
Safe to use.
IP Geolocation MCP server using IP2Location.io API
IP2Location.io MCP server
This is a simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for IP2Location.io API. It will return a detailed geolocation information for any given IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Features
- Comprehensive Geolocation Data: Retrieves a wide range of information, including country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, and more.
- Network Details: Provides network-related data such as ASN, ISP, domain, and network speed.
- Security Insights: Detects proxy information, including proxy type and provider.
- Simple Integration: Built as a
FastMCPtool, allowing for easy integration into compatible systems. - Asynchronous: Utilizes
httpxfor non-blocking asynchronous API requests.
Requirement
This MCP server supports to query without an API key, with a limitation of 1,000 queries per day. You can also sign up for a free API key and enjoy up to 50,000 queries per month.
The setup also use uv, which can be install by following the guide.
Setup
Follow the steps to use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:
- Download the repository to your local.
- Setup the
uvpackage manager, you can once again refer to the guide to do so. - Make sure you have installed the Claude Desktop, if you haven't, kindly download from here for Windows and MacOS users, or follow this guide for Linux user.
- Open the
claude_desktop_config.jsonin your choice of editor, if you do not having one yet, follow this guide to create one. - Add the following to your
claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ip2locationio": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/ip2locationio/src",
"run",
"server.py"
],
"env": {
"IP2LOCATION_API_KEY": "<YOUR API key HERE>"
}
}
}
}
- Remember to replace the
/path/to/ip2locationiopath with your actual path to IP2Location.io MCP server in local. - To get your API key, just login to your dashboard and get it from there. Replaced the
<YOUR API key HERE>in above with your actual API key. - Restart the Claude Desktop after save the changes, and you should see it appear in the
Search and toolsmenu.
Usage
Just enter your query about the IP in a chat in Claude Desktop. Some of the example query will be:
- Where is the location of (IP)?
- Where is (IP) located?
- What is the coordinate of (IP)?
For instance, below is the result of the IP 8.8.8.8:

In Claude Desktop, the model will automatically generate the output based on the result returned by IP2Location.io MCP server.
Environment Variable
IP2LOCATION_API_KEY
The IP2Location.io API key, which allows you to query up to 50,000 per month and more details of the IP address. You can sign up for a free API key, or subscribe to a plan to enjoy more benefits.
Tool
get_geolocation
Description
Fetch geolocation for the given IP address. It helps users to retrieve detailed information such as country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ASN, and proxy information for any IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Arguments
ip (str): The IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) to analyze.
Returns
A JSON string containing the geolocation data. The result may include the following fields, depending on your API plan:
- Location & Geography: Country, region, district, city, ZIP code, latitude & longitude, time zone.
- Network & Connectivity: ASN (Autonomous System Number), ISP (Internet Service Provider), domain, net speed, IDD code, area code, address type, usage type.
- Mobile Information: MNC (Mobile Network Code), MCC (Mobile Country Code), Mobile Brand.
- Currency & Language: currency code, currency name, currency symbol, language code, language name.
- Proxy & Security: proxy type, last seen, threat level/type, proxy provider, fraud score.
- Others: IAB category, weather, elevation, population, and more.
If the request fails or the IP address is invalid, the tool will return an error message as a string.
