GeoIP MCP Server
An MCP server that provides IP geolocation services using MaxMind's GeoIP2 databases, allowing users to retrieve geographical information for single or multiple IP addresses including country, city, coordinates, and ASN details.
README Documentation
GeoIP MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing IP geolocation and ASN lookup services using MaxMind GeoIP2 databases.
Features
- Single & Bulk IP Geolocation: Lookup for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, with batch concurrency (configurable via
GEOIP_CONCURRENCY
). - ASN Information: Retrieve Autonomous System Number and organization.
- Country-only Lookup: Efficient country-level lookup tool.
- Comprehensive Location Data: Country, city, subdivision, postal code, latitude/longitude, and network info.
- Distance Calculation: Compute distance between two coordinates.
- Caching: In-memory cache for fast repeated lookups (configurable via
GEOIP_CACHE_TTL
). - Flexible Output: JSON, summary, and CSV formats.
- Health Checks & Performance Monitoring: Tools for server and database health.
- Prometheus Metrics: Optional exporter via
PROMETHEUS_PORT
. - MCP Protocol: Compatible with MCP clients.
Setup
1. Install Dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Download MaxMind GeoIP2 Databases
- Register for a free MaxMind account: https://www.maxmind.com/
- Download
GeoLite2-City.mmdb
andGeoLite2-ASN.mmdb
(and optionallyGeoLite2-Country.mmdb
). - Place them in a known directory (e.g.,
~/Downloads/
).
3. Set Environment Variables
export GEOIP_CITY_DB="~/Downloads/GeoLite2-City.mmdb"
export GEOIP_ASN_DB="~/Downloads/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"
export GEOIP_COUNTRY_DB="~/Downloads/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb" # optional
export GEOIP_CACHE_TTL=3600
export GEOIP_CONCURRENCY=20
export PROMETHEUS_PORT=9000 # optional, for Prometheus metrics
Usage
Run the Server
python server.py
The server communicates via MCP protocol (stdio by default).

Example Output
{
"ip_address": "203.0.113.0",
"location": {
"country": {"iso_code": "US", "name": "United States"},
"city": {"name": "Minneapolis"},
"location": {"latitude": 44.9733, "longitude": -93.2323}
},
"asn": {
"autonomous_system_number": 1221,
"autonomous_system_organization": "Telstra Pty Ltd"
}
}
Error Handling
- Invalid IP address formats
- Missing or unreadable database files
- IP not found in database
- Network/database errors
Health & Monitoring
- Use
health_check.py
for system/database health. - Use
performance_monitor.py
for performance metrics. - Prometheus metrics available if
PROMETHEUS_PORT
is set.
Docker
A Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml are provided.
