IPGeolocation.io MCP Server: MCP server, setup and security

What IPGeolocation.io MCP Server does

According to its repository: “Official IPGeolocation.io MCP server with 17 tools for IP geolocation, company information, ASN and network data, IP security (VPN, proxy, Tor, bot, hosting and spam detection), abuse contacts, time zones, astronomy, currency data and user-agent parsing. Runs over stdio and supports cached paginatio”

An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. IPGeolocation.io MCP Server is listed under Maps, places and travel, a category of 67 servers in the directory, where it ranks #56 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: anthropic, asn, asn-lookup, claude, ip, ip-abuse-lookup.

Installing and connecting IPGeolocation.io MCP Server

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

• npm package (Node.js, usually started with npx)

Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript.

The registry lists one secret variable to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.

Security: what to check

An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.

Points found for IPGeolocation.io MCP Server:

• Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on March 4, 2026, the IPGeolocation/ipgeolocation-io-mcp repository has 4 stars and 4 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 9% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 2.0.1 (October 11, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
