## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with IPLocate MCP or direct API to look up IP geolocation, detect VPN or proxy usage, enrich company and ASN data, and find abuse contacts through natural language.

## Summary

IPLocate is an IP intelligence service for geolocation, network, privacy, hosting, company, and abuse data.
Use it to enrich IP addresses with current context for fraud checks, security triage, and analytics.

## Categories

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute IPLocate Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute IPLocate actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Look up geolocation, ASN, VPN/proxy status, and abuse contact details for IP address 8.8.8.8'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Look up geolocation, ASN, VPN/proxy status, and abuse contact details for IP address 8.8.8.8'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for IPLocate
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to IPLocate tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Look up geolocation, ASN, VPN/proxy status, and abuse contact details for IP address 8.8.8.8')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Look up geolocation, ASN, VPN/proxy status, and abuse contact details for IP address 8.8.8.8'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```

## Why Use Composio?

### 1. AI Native IPLocate Integration

- Supports both IPLocate MCP and direct API based integrations
- Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable IP intelligence lookups
- Rich coverage for geolocation, ASN, privacy, hosting, company, and abuse data

### 2. Managed Auth

- Securely stores IPLocate API keys so you don't have to hard-code secrets
- Central place to manage, scope, and revoke IPLocate access
- Per user and per environment credentials for safer production agent workflows

### 3. Agent Optimized Design

- Tools are tuned for clean IP lookup inputs and predictable responses
- Comprehensive execution logs so you can see which IPs were checked, when, and on whose behalf
- Clear outputs make it easier for agents to explain location, network, privacy, and abuse signals

### 4. Enterprise Grade Security

- Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access IPLocate
- Scoped, least privilege access for IP enrichment and risk checks
- Full audit trail of agent actions to support security review and compliance
