Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote IPDetective server that lets an assistant check IP bot, datacenter, VPN/proxy, ASN and country signals and monitor your lookup allowance.

What you can do
  • Look up a single public IPv4 or IPv6 address for bot, datacenter, VPN/proxy, ASN and country signals
  • Look up 1–100 public IP addresses in one batch request, with duplicates removed and an explicit confirmation step
  • Check account request and lookup limits and current usage
  • Report free-tier usage status, request a missing feature, and manage a Pro or Pro+ subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to screen an IP address or a list of addresses for bot, VPN, proxy or datacenter signals, or to check how much of your IPDetective allowance is left before running more lookups.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint added by URL only; no API key or Authorization header in the client config. Sign-in is through OAuth on the hosted login page using your IPDetective credentials. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
Lookups consume your IPDetective allowance, and batch lookups require confirm:true because they spend it. Results are risk signals, not proof of abuse. Upgrade returns a Stripe Checkout payment link, and cancelling Pro has no refund for the current period. No automatic retries, so check usage before resubmitting after an error.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open IPDetective MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fipdetective/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://ipdetective.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http ipdetective https://ipdetective.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:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "ipdetective": {      "url": "https://ipdetective.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

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 IPDetective credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/ipdetective/

Connect your own IPDetective credentials through the hosted sign-in page.
