MyIP MCP server

This MCP server provides a simple yet useful functionality to retrieve your public IP address information from ifconfig.me, allowing easy access to this data through the Model Context Protocol.

Installation

To install and use the MyIP MCP server, follow these steps:

Configuration

Add the MyIP server to your MCP configuration by including it in your mcpServers settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myip": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-myip"]
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed:

1. The uvx package should be installed on your system
2. The mcp-myip module should be available

Usage

Once installed, you can use the MyIP MCP server to retrieve your public IP address information.

Available Tools

The server provides the following tool:

• get_ip_info: Retrieves your public IP address from ifconfig.me

Example Usage

In your MCP-compatible application or client, you can call the tool as follows:

// Example of calling the get_ip_info tool
const ipInfo = await mcp.myip.get_ip_info();
console.log(`Your public IP address is: ${ipInfo.ip}`);

The response will contain your public IP address and potentially other information provided by ifconfig.me.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

• Verify that the uvx command is accessible in your PATH
• Check that the mcp-myip module is correctly installed
• Ensure your system has internet connectivity to reach ifconfig.me

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 "myip" '{"command":"uvx","args":["mcp-myip"]}'

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": {
        "myip": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-myip"
            ]
        }
    }
}

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.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "myip": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-myip"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
