ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:
- Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
- Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
- Paste the address below, give it a name and save
- If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
https://mcp.internetdata.io/mcpMenu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Common questions
Is InternetData safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: INTERNETDATA_API_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (3.1.12) reached the registry 2 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

InternetData MCP Server
The official Model Context Protocol server for the InternetData API.
InternetData publishes IP and ASN databases: geolocation, anonymity, ownership and network data, as gzipped CSV and as MMDB. This server gives an AI agent four read-only tools over them - every database we publish and where your organization's license for each one stands, what is inside one, the digests to verify a copy you already hold, and your recent download history.
Getting Started
We host it at https://mcp.internetdata.io/mcp, and you sign in to it with your InternetData account. It also runs on your own machine from npm. Either way it sees where your organization's license for each database stands. Databases are licensed by contract. The Open ones, tor_ip_v1 among them, are licensed to every organization from the start and are free under CC BY-SA 4.0. For the rest, see the API documentation, or request an evaluation if your organization doesn't have a license yet.
In Claude
In claude.ai, the desktop app or Cowork, add https://mcp.internetdata.io/mcp as a custom connector and choose Use Claude's published identity when asked. In Claude Code, install our plugin, which adds the server with skills:
/plugin marketplace add internetdata/claude-plugin
/plugin install internetdata@internetdata
Either way you sign in with your InternetData account, and Claude never sees your API key. The steps, the skills and how to disconnect: docs.internetdata.io/integrations/claude.
In ChatGPT and Codex
InternetData is in the plugin directory ChatGPT and Codex share: add it from its listing. Codex also installs our plugin from the command line, which adds the server with skills:
codex plugin marketplace add internetdata/openai-plugin
codex plugin add internetdata@internetdata codex mcp login internetdata
Either way you sign in with your InternetData account, and neither sees your API key. The steps: docs.internetdata.io/integrations/chatgpt and docs.internetdata.io/integrations/codex. On the OpenAI API, the Responses API's mcp tool takes the server as its server_url and your key as its authorization.
In any other MCP client
Point it at https://mcp.internetdata.io/mcp. A client that supports MCP authorization signs in the same way. One that doesn't can send a key instead, as Authorization: Bearer your-key.
On your own machine
You need an API key carrying the db.download scope. Add this to your MCP client's config:
{
"mcpServers": { "internetdata": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "internetdata-mcp"], "env": { "INTERNETDATA_API_KEY": "your-key" } } } }
Requires Node.js 22 or newer. INTERNETDATA_BASE_URL overrides the endpoint if you need to point somewhere else.
Tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
list_databases | Every database we publish, with its standing for your organization (licensed, expired or unlicensed) and the type and term of any license. |
database_metadata | A database's columns, sample rows, row count, build date and file sizes. |
database_checksum | The published digests for one database file. |
list_downloads | Your organization's recent download attempts, refusals included. |
Every tool is read-only.
Two spellings of a database ID
list_databases answers a base ID and a versions array:
{
"base": "vpn_ip", "standing": "licensed", "open": false, "versions": [{ "id": "vpn_ip_v1", "version": 1, "formats": ["csvgz", "mmdb"] }] }
The base is what a license names. versions[].id is what a download names, and it is the one database_metadata and database_checksum accept. The tools say so in their own descriptions, so an agent generally gets this right on its own; it is worth knowing when you read a transcript where one was refused.
There is no download tool, deliberately
The published builds run to several GB, which is not something an agent should pull into a conversation. database_metadata is how you find out what a transfer would cost, and the client libraries or the API are how you actually move the bytes.
Reading the download history
list_downloads is a bounded window - at most 200 attempts, newest first - and it lists refusals alongside successes, because a denial and its http_status are what answer *"it stopped working"*. A database missing from the answer means it is not in that window, never that it was never fetched.
Other Libraries
There are official InternetData client libraries available for many languages including PHP, Python, Go, Java, and Ruby. See our GitHub at https://github.com/internetdata for more.
