ipapi.is MCP by usefulapi
Use your ipapi.is account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Look up IP addresses and AS numbers: owner, abuse contact, location, and VPN, proxy, Tor and datacenter flags. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://ipapi-is.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://ipapi-is.usefulapi.io/mcp.
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http ipapi-is https://ipapi-is.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
- VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your ipapi.is credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/ipapi-is/
On first connect you provide your ipapi.is API key (copy it from your ipapi.is dashboard). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
