What is the IP Geolocation MCP server?

Provides IP address geolocation data via IP-API.com without requiring an API key. That is what the ip geolocation mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides IP geolocation services via IP-API.com. Free to use, no API key required.

  • Get detailed location information for any IP address
  • Network information including ISP and AS number
  • Timezone data
  • No API key or registration required
  • Clean, formatted output for Claude

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-ip-geolocator on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:

  • Timezone — ISP and organization

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. IP Geolocation's toolset — Timezone — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by tedlikeskix; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
