## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 627 tokens (~125/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 97/100
  - Stability observed for 29 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `ip_lookup_lite` (~86 tokens)

IP Lookup (LITE)

Look up an IP address: country, continent, ASN and network operator. Served from our local dataset, sub-5ms. Needs a free key. Example: ip="8.8.8.8" returns US, AS15169.

Input parameters:

- `ip` (string, required): An IPv4 or IPv6 address, e.g. "8.8.8.8"

### `ip_lookup_max` (~88 tokens)

IP Lookup (MAX)

Full IP intelligence: precise geolocation, network and ASN data, VPN / proxy / Tor / hosting detection and threat data. Needs a free key. Example: ip="1.1.1.1" returns Brisbane, AU plus the privacy and hosting flags.

Input parameters:

- `ip` (string, required): An IPv4 or IPv6 address, e.g. "8.8.8.8"

### `ip_lookup_batch` (~97 tokens)

Batch IP Lookup

Look up 1-100 IP addresses in one call. kind "lite" = country/ASN from our local dataset; kind "max" = full intelligence. Needs a free key. Example: ips=["8.8.8.8","1.1.1.1"], kind="lite".

Input parameters:

- `ips` (array, required): IPv4/IPv6 addresses
- `kind` (string, required): "lite" or "max"

## Common questions

### What is the Lookip MCP server?

Lookip is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.lookip/ip-lookup. IP geolocation, ASN and network data, plus VPN, proxy and Tor detection. ASN tools need no key. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.lookip.io/mcp).

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

Lookip scores 79 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 Lookip MCP server expose?

Lookip exposes 5 tools: ip_lookup_lite, ip_lookup_max, ip_lookup_batch, asn_lookup, asn_search. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 448 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Lookip MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Lookip without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Lookip MCP server still maintained?

Lookip is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
