Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

IP intelligence lookups and FindIP Shield visitor risk signals for AI assistants.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: FINDIP_API_KEY, FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: FINDIP_API_KEY, FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "findip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@findip/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FINDIP_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add findip --env FINDIP_API_KEY=your-value --env FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @findip/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "findip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@findip/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FINDIP_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "findip": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@findip/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FINDIP_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • FINDIP_API_KEY secret required env
    Your FindIP API key (free at https://www.findip.net). Used for IP lookups and your Shield sites.
  • FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY secret env
    A Shield site's secret key (sec_...). Only needed for verify_session.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is FindIP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: FINDIP_API_KEY, FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 28 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

FindIP MCP server

Ask your assistant about an IP address or a risky session, and get the answer from FindIP.

@findip/mcp is a Model Context Protocol server for FindIP. It gives Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients IP intelligence and FindIP Shield risk signals. It runs locally over stdio and only reads data.

Tools

ToolWhat it doesKey
lookup_ipCountry, city, ISP and ASN for an IP, plus risk signals: VPN, proxy, Tor, relay, hosting, scanner, malicious listings, threat scoreAPI key
verify_sessionServer-side risk check for a Shield session: score, recommendation, challenge status, IP and network rotationSite secret key
list_shield_sitesYour Shield sites with today's event and risky-event countsAPI key
recent_risky_eventsRecent high-risk events on a site, for example "what risky traffic hit my signup form this week"API key
explain_eventOne event in plain language: where it came from, which signals fired, what was recommendedAPI key

All five tools are read-only. docs/BACKEND.md lists the FindIP endpoint behind each one.

Setup

You need Node.js 18.17 or later and a FindIP API key. Keys are free at findip.net.

Claude Code
claude mcp add findip --env FINDIP_API_KEY=your_api_key -- npx -y @findip/mcp
Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings, Developer, Edit Config), then restart Claude Desktop:

{

"mcpServers": { "findip": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@findip/mcp"], "env": { "FINDIP_API_KEY": "your_api_key" } } } }

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

{

"mcpServers": { "findip": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@findip/mcp"], "env": { "FINDIP_API_KEY": "your_api_key" } } } }

Configuration

VariablePurpose
FINDIP_API_KEYYour FindIP API key. Required for lookup_ip, list_shield_sites, recent_risky_events and explain_event.
FINDIP_SHIELD_SECRET_KEYSecret key (sec_...) of one Shield site. Required for verify_session. Find it in the site's settings in the Shield dashboard.
FINDIP_SHIELD_ACCOUNT_APISet to 0 to turn off the three Shield account tools, so the API key is used for IP lookups only. On by default.
FINDIP_TIMEOUT_MSRequest timeout. Default 15000.
FINDIP_API_BASE_URL, FINDIP_SHIELD_BASE_URL, FINDIP_PORTAL_BASE_URLOverride the FindIP hosts, for testing.

The Shield account tools allow 60 requests per account per minute. Repeated requests with a wrong key are blocked for 10 minutes.

Keys are read from the environment only. They are never accepted as tool arguments and never appear in tool output or error messages.

Examples

  • "Look up 203.0.113.9. Is it a VPN or a hosting provider?"
  • "Verify Shield session sess_8f2c and tell me why it was flagged."
  • "What risky traffic hit my signup form this week?"
  • "Explain event 5b1e... on shop.example. Should I worry?"

How to read the results

FindIP reports risk signals. A VPN, a hosting network or a high score tells you about the connection, not about the person behind it. Use the signals to decide who gets a closer look, an extra step or a manual review.

The Shield browser SDK collects signals and can add friction in the page, but a browser can be scripted or bypassed, so it is not a security boundary. Decisions that matter belong on your server: call server verification (the endpoint verify_session uses) from your backend before you allow, challenge or block. A session with risk_status: "unknown" had no IP intelligence; treat it as unknown, not as safe.

Privacy

  • The server talks only to FindIP: api.findip.net, shield.findip.net and www.findip.net.
  • Shield tools never return end-user identity (email, user ID and their hashes). FindIP removes it before the data leaves its servers.
  • Site listings are a short summary: no site keys, no settings.
  • No telemetry, and nothing is written to disk.
