ipfind

IP Find MCP Server lets AI assistants query IP Find to locate information associated with IP addresses. The server connects to the IP Find API and exposes MCP-compatible endpoints that the MCP client (such as Claude Desktop) can request during conversations. With this server configured, your assistant can resolve IP addresses to locations or related metadata provided by IP Find, enabling more informed responses when discussing network-related topics.

To use it, ensure the MCP client is configured to load the ipfind MCP server from the mcpServers section. Once enabled, the assistant can invoke IP Find capabilities by referencing the ipfind server in its prompts or tool calls, and IP Find will return location or contextual details for the specified IP addresses through the MCP pipeline.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js installed on your machine
• MCP Client (e.g., Claude Desktop App) installed
• IP Find API key from IPFind.com

Step 1: Obtain the API key

• Sign up on IPFind.com and generate an API key. Copy the key to your clipboard.

Step 2: Install the MCP server via npx (no local install required per this configuration)

• You don’t need to install anything globally. The configuration uses npx to fetch and run the MCP server package directly.

Step 3: Configure the MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop)

• Open your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json).
• Add or update the mcpServers section with the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipfind": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ipfind/ipfind-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "IPFIND_API_KEY": "<API KEY GOES HERE>"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Replace <API KEY GOES HERE> with the API key you obtained from IPFind.

Step 4: Launch and test

• Start your MCP client or IDE that uses the claude_desktop_config.json configuration.
• Trigger an IP Find query through the assistant to verify that IP addresses are resolved using the IP Find MCP server.

Tips and considerations:

• Ensure the IPFIND_API_KEY environment variable is kept secret and not checked into source control.
• If the MCP server cannot reach IP Find, check network access and API key validity.
• Some IP Find plans have rate limits; plan accordingly for automated or high-volume use.
• If you need to update the server version, rerun the npx command to fetch the latest @ipfind/ipfind-mcp-server package.
• The npm package associated with this MCP server is @ipfind/ipfind-mcp-server; this can be used directly if you prefer a local install setup.
