# IPLocate — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your IPLocate account and use 1 tools for analytics straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. IPLocate provides current geolocation, network, privacy, hosting, company, and abuse intelligence for IP addresses.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_iplocate?ms=1787291280000`
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. `iplocate_lookup_ip`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/iplocate`
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/iplocate/_endpoints`

### Endpoints
