IP.LS — IP Lookup Service
ls.ip/ipls-ip-lookup-service · 1.4.0
Keyless IP geolocation, ASN/ISP, timezone and DNS records for any IP or domain, plus your own IP.
Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.
Where it sits in the directory's order
What can be seen from outside, weighed as the directory publishes.
Observable signals: 35 of 100 points (at most 60 here)
| Input | Points | What was seen |
|---|---|---|
| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

Connection test
The MCP handshake, then a request for the tool list, with no key and no data of yours. Run nightly, and by anyone, at most once every ten minutes per server.
It completed the handshake and listed 6 tools.

The tools it lists (6, as of 2 days ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
ip_lookupLook up geolocation, ISP and network info for any IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname, or an array of them for batch lookup. Returns ip, city, region, country, coordinates, ASN/ISP, timezone and continent (full name, e.g. North America); when a domain is queried, an extra `domain` field echoes it. Data source: DB-IP Lite (CC BY 4.0). Anycast IPs are approximate.
ip_resolvedResolve a domain to all its A and AAAA records (deduplicated, up to 6) and return geolocation for each address. Returns an array of { ip, protocol, domain, city, region, country, coordinates, ASN/ISP, ... }. For a bare IP, returns a single-element array.
ip_selfGet geolocation and network info about the caller's own public IP, plus the protocol stack (IPv4/IPv6) of the current connection. On dual-stack machines the stack is chosen by the client and may differ from `curl ip.ls`, which picks a random stack; use curl -4/-6 locally to get the other stack, or — for clients that cannot pick a stack (browser, PowerShell, most HTTP libraries) — the single-stack hostnames https://4.ip.ls / https://6.ip.ls (DNS selects the stack; an unreachable 6.ip.ls means no usable IPv6). Data comes from a server-side GeoIP lookup on the caller's real IP.
headersReturn all HTTP request headers as seen by the IP.LS server (including X-Real-IP / X-Forwarded-For injected by the frontend proxy). Useful for debugging proxies and client identity.
uaReturn the User-Agent string of the current HTTP client.
ip_summarySummarize a large batch of IPs into distributions by country, continent, ASN/operator and network prefix, each bucket with a sample of addresses. Use instead of ip_lookup once the input is in the hundreds or thousands — ip_lookup returns every row, which no context window holds. Up to 5000 addresses or 100 hostnames. Counts are per occurrence; nothing is dropped silently (failed → `errors`, no database record → `no_data`, unlisted buckets → `tail`), the same input set always returns the same numbers, and the result is facts only — no datacenter/residential classification, no verdict.

How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
ls.ip/ipls-ip-lookup-service, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
