Connect IPinfo to Meta Muse via MCP: IP Lookups

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → IPinfo, install it with no key, mint an MCP API key and you're done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

IPinfo + Meta Muse

IP address intelligence from IPinfo: geolocation, ASN and network owner, VPN, proxy, Tor and residential proxy detection, company, mobile carrier, abuse contacts, hosted domains, IP ranges and WHOIS, one IP at a time or up to 1,000 per batch. Read-only; a few lookups work without a token, a free token unlocks unlimited IPinfo Lite.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

(none required; optional: IPINFO_TOKEN)

Step 1 — Set up the connector

Works without a token, better with one: setup takes under 2 minutes. The connector reads two IPinfo hosts, the current API at https://api.ipinfo.io (Lite, lookup, places, batch) and the classic API at https://ipinfo.io (everything else).

1. In the connector store, pick IPinfo and install it. Without a token only ipinfo_get_my_ip, ipinfo_get_ip_details and ipinfo_get_ip_field work, at a small daily allowance; every other tool answers 400 or 403.
2. Recommended: sign up at https://ipinfo.io/signup. The free plan gives unlimited IPinfo Lite lookups (country, continent and ASN). Copy the access token from https://ipinfo.io/dashboard/token into IPINFO_TOKEN, without a Bearer prefix. It is sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
3. Check it with ipinfo_get_my_ip, and with a token ipinfo_get_token_info: it shows the plan, the requests made and left this day and month, and under features the data products the token may use.

Which tool for which plan:

• No token: ipinfo_get_my_ip, ipinfo_get_ip_details, ipinfo_get_ip_field.
• Free token: also ipinfo_lite_lookup, ipinfo_lite_me and ipinfo_batch_lite.
• Core, Plus or Max plan: ipinfo_lookup (city-level geo, ASN type, privacy and mobile flags) and ipinfo_batch; Plus and Max also ipinfo_get_place.
• Business, enterprise or the matching single API: ipinfo_get_privacy, ipinfo_get_residential_proxy (residential proxy add-on), ipinfo_get_company, ipinfo_get_carrier, ipinfo_get_abuse_contact, ipinfo_get_hosted_domains, ipinfo_get_asn, ipinfo_get_ip_ranges, ipinfo_whois_net, ipinfo_whois_org and ipinfo_whois_poc. A token without the product answers 403.

What it reads:

• Where an IP is and who runs it: ipinfo_lite_lookup on a free token, ipinfo_lookup on a paid one, ipinfo_get_ip_details for the classic shape with hostname, city, region, country, coordinates, postal code, time zone and AS organization. ipinfo_get_ip_field returns a single value as plain text, such as only the country or the city.
• Many IPs at once: ipinfo_batch_lite (free) or ipinfo_batch (paid, can mix IPs, fields such as 8.8.8.8/country, ASNs such as AS15169 and paths such as resproxy/1.1.1.1), up to 1,000 inputs per call; the AI splits longer lists.
• Fraud and security checks: VPN, proxy, Tor, relay and hosting flags with ipinfo_get_privacy, residential proxy exits with ipinfo_get_residential_proxy, whom to report abuse to with ipinfo_get_abuse_contact, and the domains hosted on an IP (reverse IP) with ipinfo_get_hosted_domains.
• Networks and organizations: autonomous systems with prefixes, peers, upstreams and downstreams (ipinfo_get_asn), the IP ranges of a company by its domain (ipinfo_get_ip_ranges), the company behind an IP (ipinfo_get_company), the mobile carrier with MCC and MNC (ipinfo_get_carrier), the public place an IP belongs to such as a hotel or airport (ipinfo_get_place) and WHOIS records by network, organization or point of contact.
• ipinfo_get_my_ip and ipinfo_lite_me report the public IP of the AnythingMCP server, not yours.

Read-only: every tool only reads, so no tool is switched off at install. The batch tools are sent as POST but only read.

Data formats: the classic API returns loc as "latitude,longitude" and org as "AS15169 Google LLC"; the current API splits them into geo.latitude, geo.longitude and as.asn, as.name. Countries are ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (US, DE), time zones IANA names (Europe/Berlin). Private and reserved addresses come back with bogon: true and no location. Location is an estimate of where the network is, not of a person; on Plus, radius gives the accuracy in km. Batch answers are an object keyed by input.

Paging: ipinfo_get_hosted_domains takes page (from 0) and limit (100 by default, up to 1,000). WHOIS tools return 50 records per page and take page (from 0).

Limits and common errors: Lite is unlimited; paid plans have a monthly quota and answer 429 when it is used up. 400 with "Token not passed" or "API Access Token Required" means the tool needs a token, 403 "Unknown token" a wrong token, 403 on a valid token a product your plan does not include, 404 "Wrong ip" a malformed IP address.

The connector does not locate people, does not change anything in your IPinfo account and does not download the IPinfo databases.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Muse

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Muse adds remote MCP servers as custom connectors and signs in to them with OAuth.

1. In Muse, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
2. Paste the MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID.
3. Muse opens the AnythingMCP sign-in page: sign in and approve access.
4. In a chat, ask Muse for something that needs the IPinfo tools.

You can also set it up from a chat, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps or in WhatsApp. Send Muse this message:

Create a Custom Connector for a new remote MCP server, then connect to it:
Name: AnythingMCP
Transport: remote streamable HTTP
URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID
Auth: OAuth

Self-hosting? Use your instance's public HTTPS address instead of https://cloud.anythingmcp.com. Muse connects from Meta's cloud, so localhost does not work.

Available tools

Example prompts

• "Where is the IP 8.8.8.8, and which network and organization does it belong to?"
• "Look up these 50 IPs from our login log and group them by country and ASN."
• "Is 185.220.101.1 a VPN, proxy, Tor exit or hosting address?"
• "Who is the abuse contact for 203.0.113.45, and which network range does it cover?"
• "Which plan does my IPinfo token have, and how many requests are left this month?"

FAQ

Where is Muse available? Meta currently offers Muse in the US and Canada, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps and in WhatsApp.

Does Meta review this connector? No. Meta doesn't review custom connectors. Muse sees only the tools you switched on for this MCP server in AnythingMCP, and you can disconnect it anytime under Settings → Connectors.
