Schema Quality & AI Usability74
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 272 tokens (~272/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass

Install

How do I install the IP99 IP risk & geolocation MCP server?

IP99 IP risk & geolocation is a hosted endpoint at https://ip99.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 1 exposed · ~173 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
ip_risk_lookup ~173

Look up the risk profile and geolocation of an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Returns a 0-100 risk score measuring the freshness and strength of verifiable risk evidence (proxy, VPN, dial-up pool, cloud phone, datacenter), the evidence state, network (ASN, usage type) and geographic attribution. The score is NOT a probability that the address is an attacker. Free tier: 1000 lookups per day per client IP and 60 per minute; higher limits with an API key sent as the X-API-Key header (https://ip99.com/en/pricing).

NameTypeReqDescription
ipstringyesThe IPv4 or IPv6 address to look up, e.g. 8.8.8.8 or 2001:4860:4860::8888.
