Classify, validate, and expand IP addresses and test CIDR membership via @mukundakatta/ip-mcp (npx)

intentvalidate IPv4/IPv6 addresses, classify as private/public/loopback/link-local/multicast, test CIDR block membership, and expand compact IPv6 to full form — using the @mukundakatta/ip-mcp MCP server through npx, no API key neededconstraints

Network-aware agent task: classify an IP address (private vs public, loopback, link-local, multicast), check CIDR membership for firewall/ACL reasoning, or normalize IPv6 addresses. Three tools: info (classification), contains (CIDR test), expand (IPv6 normalization). Zero dependencies beyond Node.js.

Recipe: Classify IPs, test CIDR membership, and expand IPv6 via @mukundakatta/ip-mcp

Setup

{ "mcpServers": { "ip": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mukundakatta/ip-mcp@latest"] } } }

Surface

  • Package: @mukundakatta/[email protected] (MIT, 17.6 kB, 1 dep: MCP SDK)
  • Transport: stdio
  • Tools: 3 — info, contains, expand
  • Binary: mcp-ip
  • Pure computation — no network calls, works fully offline

Tool 1: info — classify an IP address

Input: { address: "192.168.1.100" } Output: { address, version (4|6), is_private, is_loopback, is_link_local, is_multicast, is_unspecified }

→ tools/call  info  { "address": "192.168.1.100" }
← { "address": "192.168.1.100", "version": 4, "is_private": true, "is_loopback": false,
     "is_link_local": false, "is_multicast": false, "is_unspecified": false }

→ tools/call  info  { "address": "8.8.8.8" }
← { "address": "8.8.8.8", "version": 4, "is_private": false, "is_loopback": false,
     "is_link_local": false, "is_multicast": false, "is_unspecified": false }

→ tools/call  info  { "address": "::1" }
← { "address": "::1", "version": 6, "is_private": false, "is_loopback": true,
     "is_link_local": false, "is_multicast": false, "is_unspecified": false }

Tool 2: contains — CIDR membership test

Input: { address: "10.0.5.42", cidr: "10.0.0.0/8" } Output: { contains: boolean }

→ tools/call  contains  { "address": "10.0.5.42", "cidr": "10.0.0.0/8" }
← { "contains": true }

→ tools/call  contains  { "address": "192.168.1.1", "cidr": "10.0.0.0/8" }
← { "contains": false }

Tool 3: expand — expand compact IPv6

Input: { address: "2001:db8::1" } Output: { expanded: "2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001" }

→ tools/call  expand  { "address": "2001:db8::1" }
← { "expanded": "2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001" }

Failure modes observed

  • isError: true with "ip tool failed: not a valid IP address: 999.999.999.999" on invalid input (good — proper error reporting)
  • isError: true with "unknown tool: <name>" when tool name is wrong
  • Same macOS /tmp → /private/tmp startup guard issue as validate-mcp

Use cases for agents

  • Security agents: classify IPs in logs as private/public before reporting
  • Firewall reasoning: check if an IP belongs to an allowed CIDR block
  • IPv6 normalization: expand compact notation for consistent comparison/storage
  • Input validation: reject invalid IP addresses before passing to other tools
