Validate IP ranges in Windsurf

Windsurf uses the `parse_ip_address` tool to sanity-check incoming network data. You feed it a string, and it returns the precise family and range classification. This MCP Server handles both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic without manual configuration. Cascade pulls the data, parses the CIDR notation, and flags private versus public addresses instantly.

Automate network logic with the IP Address Parser

Stop writing custom regex for network validation. The `parse_ip_address` tool wraps the same library powering major web frameworks to ensure your parsing is bulletproof. Your agent handles the conversion between address families while you focus on the architecture. It eliminates the risk of misclassifying internal traffic as external.

Resolve CIDR masks within your Windsurf workflow

The `parse_ip_address` tool breaks down complex CIDR blocks into usable metadata. You get the network range, the broadcast address, and the specific family of the input. Windsurf reads these results to build firewall rules or security policies. It works because the logic is isolated and predictable.

Setup guide

Set up IP Address Parser MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the IP Address Parser MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my IP Address Parser payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the IP Address Parser tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about IP Address Parser MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP settings UI in the Cascade panel and add the server configuration. Once you click refresh, the `parse_ip_address` tool becomes available for your agent to call directly.

Yes. The tool identifies both IPv4 and IPv6 formats using standard library logic. It handles the transition between families so Windsurf sees consistent data regardless of the input type.

Vinkius runs the server in an ephemeral sandbox. Your IP strings are processed in memory and destroyed immediately after the tool completes the request.

The tool validates input against RFC specifications. If you pass garbage data, it returns an error rather than guessing, which prevents Windsurf from acting on bad information.

It uses a battle-tested library that has processed billions of requests. You gain production-grade parsing without the overhead of maintaining custom code in your project.
