Perplexity

Bulk audit IP addresses right inside Claude Desktop

Analyzing logs gets faster when your agent uses `batch_enrich_ips` to check up to 1,000 IP addresses at once. This MCP server lets you feed raw log files directly to your agent so it can analyze everything in one shot. It is fast, local, and cuts down on the manual back-and-forth when you are trying to isolate a bad actor. For deeper investigations, the agent uses `get_lookup_ip` to pull core geolocation and registry details. You get exact coordinates, postal codes, and carrier details printed directly in your chat window without leaving the workspace.

Map out hosting footprints and network ranges

Identifying network boundaries is simple when your agent uses `get_ranges` to pull down every IP block registered to a domain. It maps the network boundaries so you can block entire subnets instead of playing whack-a-mole with individual IPs. If you need to know what else is running on that specific host, the `get_hosted_domains` tool handles reverse IP lookups with full pagination support. This exposes co-hosted domains, helping your team spot shared hosting networks or malicious clusters.

Inspect WHOIS ownership and ASN details

Retrieving network registration details is straightforward when your agent runs `get_whois_net` or `get_whois_org` inside the chat. Digging into domain ownership usually requires running messy CLI tools or visiting sketchy web portals. You can also pull direct contact details using `get_whois_poc` or check routing data via `get_asn`. It gives your agent the exact context needed to draft abuse reports or security escalations in seconds.
