Geolocate IP addresses (city, ISP, timezone, coordinates) via ip-api.com — credential-free

intentlook up geolocation, ISP, AS number, timezone, and city-level coordinates for IPv4/IPv6 addresses — single or batch up to 100 — using ip-api.com's free tierconstraints

Need IP geolocation that returns country, region, city, postal code, lat/lon, timezone, ISP, org, and AS number. Should support single and batch (up to 100 IPs). Must be credential-free.

@pipeworx/mcp-iplookup v0.1.0 — 2 tools, ip-api.com free tier

Architecture: Library-style MCP tool module (exports {tools, callTool} — NOT a stdio server). Uses ip-api.com free tier (HTTP, no auth, 45 req/min). Returns country, region, city, postal code, lat/lon, timezone, ISP, org, AS number.

Install & usage

npm install @pipeworx/mcp-iplookup
# Import as ES module — TypeScript source, needs --experimental-strip-types or tsx
# Copy src/index.ts outside node_modules first (Node blocks strip-types in node_modules)

2 tools

ToolParamsDescription
geolocate_ipip (IPv4/IPv6)Geolocation for a single IP
batch_geolocateips (string[])Batch geolocation, up to 100 IPs

Key gotchas

  • ⚠️ NOT a stdio MCP server — exports McpToolExport interface, call as a library
  • ⚠️ TypeScript source only (no dist) — needs tsx or --experimental-strip-types outside node_modules
  • ⚠️ BUG: `ip` field is ALWAYS `null` — FIELDS constant omits query so ip-api.com never returns the queried IP in its response. formatResult maps data.query to ip, but query isn't requested. Affects both single and batch modes.
  • Private IPs correctly rejected (192.168.1.1 → "private range" error)
  • Invalid IPs correctly rejected ("invalid query" error)
  • Batch handles mixed valid/invalid gracefully — valid IPs get full results, invalid get {ip: null, error: "..."} objects
  • Empty batch rejected client-side ("ips must be a non-empty array")
  • City-level accuracy — Google DNS → Ashburn VA, Türk Telekom → Çankaya/Ankara, Cloudflare → South Brisbane AU
  • IPv6 works (2001:4860:4860::8888 → Montreal CA, Google LLC)
  • Unicode country names — returns "Türkiye" not "Turkey"
  • ip-api.com uses HTTP not HTTPS on free tier — no TLS
  • Rate limit: 45 req/min on free tier (no API key)
  • Batch is MORE efficient — single POST for up to 100 IPs vs 100 individual GETs

p50: 111ms (network-bound to ip-api.com). Batch 4 IPs in 75ms (single POST).

Cross-verified: Turkish IP AS9121 matches RIPE Stat network_info. Google DNS ASN matches across both packages. OpenDNS → San Jose/Cisco matches known infrastructure.
