Network access with the ability to run commands like ping, traceroute, mtr, http, dns resolve.
Globalping becomes available to MCP clients through the globalping mcp server. Network access with the ability to run commands like ping, traceroute, mtr, http, dns resolve.
Enable AI models to interact with a global network measurement platform through natural language. Give network access to any LLM.
Globalping is a free, public API that provides access to a globally distributed network of probes for monitoring, debugging, and benchmarking internet infrastructure. With Globalping, you can run network tests (ping, traceroute, DNS, MTR, HTTP) from thousands of locations worldwide.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 11 tools directly:
Description — Run network tests from locations worldwideping — Perform a ping test to a targettraceroute — Perform a traceroute test to a targetdns — Perform a DNS lookup for a domainmtr — Perform an MTR (My Traceroute) test to a targetlocations — List all available Globalping probe locationslimits — Show your current rate limits for the Globalping APIgetMeasurement — Retrieve a previously run measurement by IDcompareLocations — Guide on how to run comparison measurementshelp — Show a help message with documentation on available toolsCursor — 1. Open Cursor settings 2. Navigate to the Tools & MCP tab 3. Click on "+ New MCP server" 4. This opens the mcp.json config file, where you will need to add:The server is distributed via npm as wrangler, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: YOUR_TOKEN, YOUR_GLOBALPING_API_TOKEN, GLOBALPING_CLIENT_ID. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Globalping sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Description, ping, traceroute among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
