# Globalping — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Globalping account and use 5 tools for server monitoring straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Globalping is a global network of probes that allows users to run network tests like ping, traceroute, and DNS resolve from various locations worldwide.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_globalping?ms=1787293440000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `globalping_create_measurement`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/globalping`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/globalping/_endpoints`
