Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Ip2location account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to get geolocation for these IP addresses, check if this IP is using a VPN, find domains hosted on this IP, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

Connecting Ip2location to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Ip2location account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Ip2location or give it any Ip2location-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Get geolocation for these IP addresses"
  • "Check if this IP is using a VPN"
  • "Find domains hosted on this IP"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Ip2location account is ready to use.

What is the Ip2location Claude Connector, 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.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Ip2location?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Ip2location conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Ip2location again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Ip2location connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Ip2location.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Ip2location.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Ip2location authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Ip2location account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Ip2location connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Ip2location authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Ip2location sign-in.

4. Why do Ip2location actions fail after they worked before?

The Ip2location connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Ip2location connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Ip2location account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Ip2location.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Ip2location itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Ip2location account?

Claude can manage the Ip2location connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Ip2location account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Ip2location again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Ip2location.
  • Sign in with the other Ip2location account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Ip2location task.

6. Why is my Ip2location connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Ip2location connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Ip2location tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Ip2location.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork 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.

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.

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.
