You can do this in two different ways: - Via [Composio Connect](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code) - Direct and easiest approach - Via [Composio SDK](https://docs.composio.dev/docs?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_sdk) - Programmatic approach with more control ## Also integrate Ip2location with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR - Only one MCP URL to connect multiple apps with Claude Code with zero auth hassles. - Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Ip2location to Claude Code ### Connecting Ip2location to Claude Code using Composio 1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude ```bash claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Code? Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working. Key features include: - Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts - MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities - Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files - Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding - Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows ## What is the Ip2location MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Ip2location MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ip2location account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced IP geolocation data, so your agent can perform actions like looking up IP locations, detecting proxies, running bulk lookups, and retrieving WHOIS information on your behalf. - Precise IP geolocation lookup: Instantly retrieve country, city, ISP, latitude, longitude, and more for any IPv4 or IPv6 address. - Bulk IP address processing: Run batch geolocation queries for up to 1000 IPs at once, making large-scale analysis quick and easy. - Proxy, VPN, and TOR detection: Determine whether an IP address is using anonymizing services to help with fraud prevention or security checks. - Domain and WHOIS data retrieval: Fetch WHOIS details for domains and list all hosted domains on a given IP to enrich investigations or audits. - Geographic distance calculation: Calculate the physical distance between two IP addresses to support analytics, compliance, or security use cases. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `IP2LOCATION_BULK_IP_GEOLOCATION` | Bulk IP Geolocation | Retrieve geolocation information for multiple IP addresses in a single request. Supports batch processing of 1-1000 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses with flexible output formats (JSON or CSV) and customizable field selection. Returns comprehensive data including country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, ASN, and proxy detection. Note: Automatically falls back to individual lookups if bulk endpoint is unavailable. | | `IP2LOCATION_CHECK_CREDITS` | Check IP2Location API Credits | Tool to check remaining IP2Location API credits. Use after setting up authentication to monitor usage. | | `IP2LOCATION_DISTANCE` | IP2Location Distance Calculator | Calculate the great-circle distance between two IP addresses based on their geographic locations. This tool looks up the geolocation (latitude/longitude) for each IP address and calculates the shortest distance between them over the Earth's surface using the Haversine formula. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Returns the distance in kilometers along with the coordinates of both IPs. Use when you need to determine geographic separation between two IP addresses, such as for latency estimation, geographic analysis, or network optimization. | | `IP2LOCATION_GET_HOSTED_DOMAINS` | IP2WHOIS Hosted Domains Lookup | Retrieves a list of domain names hosted on a specific IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). Use this tool when you need to: - Discover which domains are hosted on a particular IP - Investigate shared hosting environments - Analyze domain-to-IP relationships The API supports pagination for IPs with many hosted domains. | | `IP2LOCATION_GET_IP_GEOLOCATION` | IP2Location Get IP Geolocation | Tool to retrieve geolocation data for an IP address. Use when detailed IP location info is needed. | | `IP2LOCATION_GET_PROXY_DETECTION` | IP2Proxy: Get Proxy Detection | Tool to detect if an IP is a proxy, VPN, or TOR exit node. Use when verifying anonymizing services. | | `IP2LOCATION_IP2_WHOIS_DOMAIN_WHOIS` | IP2WHOIS Domain WHOIS Lookup | Tool to retrieve WHOIS information for a domain. Use when you need domain registration details. | | `IP2LOCATION_LIST_IPS` | IP2Location List IPs | Tool to list a curated set of test IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Use when sample IPs are needed for IP2Location or IP2Proxy lookups during development or testing. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Ip2location MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Ip2location account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Ip2location operations on your behalf. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites Before starting, make sure you have: - Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account - Composio API Key - A Ip2location account - Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript ### 1. Install Claude Code To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system: ```bash # macOS, Linux, WSL curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash # Windows PowerShell irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex # Windows CMD curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd ``` ### 2. Set up Claude Code Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code: - Claude Code will open in your terminal - Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account - Complete the authentication flow - Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code ```bash cd your-project-folder claude ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code)) - USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier) ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here ``` ### 4. Install Composio library No description provided. ```python pip install composio-core python-dotenv ``` ```typescript npm install @composio/core dotenv ``` ### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL No description provided. ```python import os from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID") composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) composio_session = composio_client.create( user_id=USER_ID, toolkits=["ip2location"], ) COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}") print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:") print(f'claude mcp add --transport http ip2location-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"') ``` ```typescript import 'dotenv/config'; import { Composio } from '@composio/core'; const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env; if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) { throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env'); } const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY }); const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, { toolkits: ['ip2location'], }); const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url; console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`); console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`); console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http ip2location-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`); ``` ### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL No description provided. ```python python generate_mcp_url.py ``` ```typescript node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts # or if using tsx tsx generate_mcp_url.ts ``` ### 7. Add Ip2location MCP to Claude Code In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is: - claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code - --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server - The server name (ip2location-composio) is how you'll reference it - The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session - --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect. ```bash claude mcp add --transport http ip2location-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY" # Then restart Claude Code exit claude ``` ### 8. Verify the installation Check that your Ip2location MCP server is properly configured. - This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code - You should see your ip2location-composio entry in the list - This confirms that Claude Code can now access Ip2location tools If everything is wired up, you should see your ip2location-composio entry listed: ```bash claude mcp list ``` ### 9. Authenticate Ip2location The first time you try to use Ip2location tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate. - Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Ip2location - It will show you an authentication link - Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it) - Complete the Ip2location authorization flow - Return to the terminal and start using Ip2location through Claude Code Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Ip2location operations in natural language. For example: - "Get geolocation for these IP addresses" - "Check if this IP is using a VPN" - "Find domains hosted on this IP" ## Complete Code ```python import os from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID") composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) composio_session = composio_client.create( user_id=USER_ID, toolkits=["ip2location"], ) COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}") print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:") print(f'claude mcp add --transport http ip2location-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"') ``` ```typescript import 'dotenv/config'; import { Composio } from '@composio/core'; const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env; if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) { throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env'); } const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY }); const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, { toolkits: ['ip2location'], }); const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url; console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`); console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`); console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http ip2location-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`); ``` ## Conclusion You've successfully integrated Ip2location with Claude Code using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Ip2location directly from your terminal using natural language commands. Key features of this setup: - Terminal-native experience without switching contexts - Natural language commands for Ip2location operations - Secure authentication through Composio's managed MCP - Tool Router for dynamic tool discovery and execution Next steps: - Try asking Claude Code to perform various Ip2location operations - Add more toolkits to your Tool Router session for multi-app workflows - Integrate this setup into your development workflow for increased productivity You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom workflows, or building automation scripts that leverage Claude Code's capabilities. ## How to build Ip2location MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ip2location/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Excel](https://composio.dev/toolkits/excel) - Microsoft Excel is a robust spreadsheet application for organizing, analyzing, and visualizing data.

With a standalone Ip2location MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ip2location tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ip2location and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code? Yes, you can. Claude Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Ip2location tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ip2location while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ip2location scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Ip2location data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
