# Ip2Proxy — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Ip2Proxy account and use 1 tools for security and identity straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. IP2Proxy is a proxy detection web service that identifies anonymous proxies, VPNs, TOR exit nodes, search engine robots, and residential proxies by IP address.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
