Introduction

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Ip2location account to Cowork 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.

Connecting Ip2location to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

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

2. Add the Composio MCP server

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

3. Authorize in your browser

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

4. Connect your Ip2location account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Ip2location or give it any Ip2location-related task.

For example, ask Cowork 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 Cowork, and your Ip2location account is ready to use.

What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Ip2location through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Ip2location MCP?

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 Cowork?

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.

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.
