Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise.

# AbuseIPDB MCP <!-- mcp-name: io.github.abuseipdb/abuseipdb-mcp --> AbuseIPDB MCP is a small Model Context Protocol server for checking IP reputation from MCP clients such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and others. It talks to the AbuseIPDB API v2 over HTTPS and exposes the results as MCP tools over stdio. Current server status: beta, stdio, read-only. Published on PyPI as [`mcp-server-abuseipdb`](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-server-abuseipdb/) and in the [MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) as `io.github.abuseipdb/abuseipdb-mcp`. A published Docker image is planned; see [Coming next](#coming-next). ## What it does - Checks one public IPv4 or IPv6 address with `check_ip`. - Checks a batch of public IPs with `bulk_check` (cap configurable, default 100). - Returns AbuseIPDB confidence score, report count, country, ISP, usage type, domain, last report time, risk tier, and a short plain-English summary. - Rejects hostnames, URLs, CIDR ranges, and private/reserved addresses by default. - Returns structured errors for bad input, auth failures, timeouts, rate limits, and AbuseIPDB API errors. - Publishes MCP tool annotations for read-only, idempotent, open-world calls. It does not submit reports or fetch blacklists yet. ## Requirements - Python 3.11+ - [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) - An AbuseIPDB API key ## Install The distribution on PyPI is `mcp-server-abuseipdb`. It installs two equivalent commands, `mcp-server-abuseipdb` and `abuseipdb-mcp` — use either. Most users do not need to install anything ahead of time: `uvx` fetches and runs it on demand, which is the form every client example below uses. Run it once by hand to confirm your key works: ```bash ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY=your_key_here uvx mcp-server-abuseipdb ``` To keep a persistent install on `PATH` instead: ```bash uv tool install mcp-server-abuseipdb ``` The server uses MCP stdio. It waits for JSON-RPC on stdin and looks idle when started from a terminal; that is expe…
