## MCP tools (4)

### `list_databases` (~151 tokens)

List databases

The IP database catalog as this API key's organization may see it, one entry per database FAMILY, with `standing` saying where their license stands: `licensed` if the family is theirs today, `expired` if the term has ended, `unlicensed` if it is published but has never been bought. Each entry has a `base` ID, which is what a license names, and a `versions` array whose `id` is what the other tools take - pass `versions[].id` (`bogon_ip_v1`), never the `base` (`bogon_ip`). Ask again rather than holding on to this: it is answered per key and is not the same for everyone.

Output parameters:

- `databases` (array)

### `database_metadata` (~129 tokens)

Describe a database

What is inside one database before you fetch it: the columns in each published format with their types, a few sample rows, the row count, the build date and the file sizes. Use this to answer questions about what a database contains without downloading it - the files reach several GB - and to budget a transfer before starting one.

Input parameters:

- `dataset_id` (string, required): A VERSIONED database ID, from `versions[].id` in `list_databases` - `bogon_ip_v1`, not `bogon_ip`. The unversioned base ID is a license reference and is not accepted here.

Output parameters:

- `entries` (integer): Row count in the current build.
- `id` (string)
- `sample` (object): A few real rows, keyed by format.
- `sample_entries` (integer): Row count in the evaluation sample.
- `sample_size` (object): Bytes per format of the evaluation sample, where one is published.
- `schema` (object): Columns, keyed by format.
- `size` (object): Bytes per format.
- `update_freq` (string): How often a new build is published.
- `updated` (string): ISO-8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD) the published build was generated on.

### `database_checksum` (~142 tokens)

Get a database's checksums

The published digests for one database file, for verifying a copy you already hold or deciding whether a build has changed since you last fetched it. It is licensed like the download itself, so a database this key cannot download is refused here too. Looking up a checksum is not a download and does not appear in `list_downloads`.

Input parameters:

- `dataset_id` (string, required): A VERSIONED database ID, from `versions[].id` in `list_databases` - `bogon_ip_v1`, not `bogon_ip`. The unversioned base ID is a license reference and is not accepted here.
- `format` (string, required): Which published file to digest.

Output parameters:

- `checksums` (object)

### `list_downloads` (~134 tokens)

List recent download attempts

This organization's own recent download attempts, newest first, REFUSALS INCLUDED - a denial carries the `outcome` and `http_status` that answer "it stopped working", which nothing else here can. Use it to explain a failing fetch, to confirm a transfer ran, or to check whether a request was theirs. This is a bounded WINDOW of at most 200 rows, so a database missing from the answer means it is not in this window - never that it was never downloaded.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many attempts to return, newest first. At most 200; the API defaults to 50.

Output parameters:

- `downloads` (array)

## Common questions

### What is the InternetData MCP server?

InternetData is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.internetdata/mcp. List InternetData's IP and ASN databases, your license for each, what one holds, and its digests. This page covers its npm package (internetdata-mcp).

### Is the InternetData MCP server safe to use?

InternetData scores 90 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the InternetData MCP server expose?

InternetData exposes 4 tools: list_databases, database_metadata, database_checksum, list_downloads. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 556 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the InternetData MCP server still maintained?

InternetData is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the InternetData MCP server under?

InternetData declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
