ip-doctor 🩺

Live reputation, network type & abuse score for any IP or domain — from real DNS lookups, no API key.

ip-doctor is both:

• an MCP server (npx -y ip-doctor-mcp) you add to Claude, Cursor or any agent, and

• a pay-per-call HTTP API gated by x402 (USDC on Base) — no sign-up, no key.

Give it an IP address or a domain and get back a CLEAN / LOW_RISK / ELEVATED / HIGH_RISK verdict with a 0–100 risk score and explained findings.

Why an MCP server?

An LLM can reason about an IP, but it cannot run live DNS, DNSBL or reverse-DNS lookups by itself. ip-doctor does exactly that on demand — the moat is the live network access, not the reasoning.

Related MCP server: mcp-server-dns

What it returns

Honesty: geolocation is the coarse RIR-allocation country, not city-level GeoIP. The network type is a deduction from org/PTR signals, not an authoritative paid label. Blocklist zones that don't answer from a public resolver are reported as inconclusive, never silently "clean".

Use it as an MCP server (free)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ip-doctor": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ip-doctor-mcp"] }
  }
}

Tools:

• check_ip — { target: "8.8.8.8" | "example.com", deep?: boolean }

• check_many — { targets: ["1.1.1.1", "evil.example", ...] }

Or connect over HTTP at POST /mcp (stateless JSON-RPC).

Use it as an HTTP API

Free tier (rate-limited, 40/h/IP):

GET https://ip-doctor.vercel.app/check?target=8.8.8.8
GET https://ip-doctor.vercel.app/check?target=example.com&deep=true
GET https://ip-doctor.vercel.app/check_many?targets=1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8,9.9.9.9

Pay-per-call (x402, $0.02 USDC on Base, DEEP tier — more blocklists + listing reasons, no rate limit):

GET https://ip-doctor.vercel.app/pro/check?target=<ip|domain>
GET https://ip-doctor.vercel.app/pro/check_many?targets=...

Your agent's x402-aware HTTP client pays automatically on the 402 challenge. The server holds no private key — payTo is a public receiving address only.

Typical uses

• Vet inbound traffic / API callers (datacenter or Tor → step-up auth).

• Validate sign-ups & registrations (block known-abusive or proxy IPs).

• Moderate user-supplied IPs/domains in a pipeline.

• Enrich logs with ASN/org/type/blocklist context.

Local dev

npm install
npm run build
npm run test:engine     # live DNS smoke tests
npm run dev:http        # local HTTP server on :8080 (payments OFF by default unless env set)
npm run dev:mcp         # stdio MCP server

Notes

• Read-only. No code is executed; nothing is written. All lookups are DNS/DNSBL/reverse-DNS.

• Private/reserved addresses (RFC1918, loopback, CGNAT, link-local) are detected and skipped — no meaningless public lookups.

• IPv6 is supported for ASN/PTR/geo; most DNSBLs are IPv4-only and are reported as not-applicable for IPv6.
