IP Geolocation MCP server

This MCP server uses the ipinfo.io API to provide detailed IP geolocation information. It helps determine a user's approximate location and network details through the Model Context Protocol framework.

Installation

To use this IP Geolocation MCP server, you'll need an IPInfo API token. You can sign up for a free account at https://ipinfo.io/signup to obtain one.

Basic Setup

Configure your MCP client with these values:

Field	Value
Command	uvx
Arguments	mcp-server-ipinfo
Environment	IPINFO_API_TOKEN = <YOUR TOKEN>

Latest Development Version

To use the latest version directly from GitHub:

Field	Value
Command	uvx
Arguments	--from, git+https://github.com/briandconnelly/mcp-server-ipinfo, mcp-server-ipinfo
Environment	IPINFO_API_TOKEN = <YOUR TOKEN>

Usage

Available Tools

The server provides the following functionality:

get_ip_details

This tool retrieves detailed information about a specified IP address.

Input Parameters:

• ip: The IP address to query information about

Output:

• Returns an IPDetails object containing comprehensive information about the IP address, including:
  • Geographic location data
  • Network organization information
  • Country details

Example usage would be through your MCP-compatible client, which would access this tool to look up information about a specified IP address.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "mcp-server-ipinfo" '{"command":"uvx","args":["mcp-server-ipinfo"],"env":{"IPINFO_API_TOKEN":"<YOUR TOKEN>"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-ipinfo": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-server-ipinfo"
            ],
            "env": {
                "IPINFO_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR TOKEN>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

                "mcp-server-ipinfo"
            ],
            "env": {
                "IPINFO_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR TOKEN>"
            }
        }
    }
}
