How to Use the IPinfo Alternative MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot query enterprise-grade data using this IPinfo Alternative?

Yes, it includes the getenterpriseip tool, which retrieves high-density IP metadata. This is ideal for production debugging where basic geolocation data isn't detailed enough.

Q: How does this IPinfo Alternative handle bulk IP lookups in VS Code Copilot?

It uses the batchenrichips tool to process up to 1,000 IP addresses in a single round-trip. This allows Copilot to quickly parse large log files directly in your workspace.

Q: What tools does this MCP Server provide for WHOIS lookups?

The MCP server provides three specific WHOIS tools: getwhoisnet for network data, getwhoisorg for organizational details, and getwhoispoc for point-of-contact information.

Perplexity

Standardize IP intelligence across your team with this MCP Server

Analyzing logs during an incident gets faster when Copilot uses `batch_enrich_ips` to check up to 1,000 IP addresses at once. Commit your configuration to Git using a shared .vscode/mcp.json file so every engineer on your team has access to the same network tools. By using `get_lookup_ip`, developers can check geolocation and network registry details without leaving their code files. This keeps your team focused on mitigation rather than context-switching between browser tabs.

Map network boundaries and hosting providers

Writing precise firewall configurations is simple when Copilot queries `get_ranges` to identify every IP range linked to a domain. Your agent handles the math and formats the CIDR blocks directly into your deployment scripts. When investigating suspicious traffic patterns, the agent calls `get_hosted_domains` to list other sites sharing that IP address. This helps your team identify whether an attack is coming from a compromised shared host.

Extract WHOIS and ASN data inside VS Code Copilot

Simplifying network operations is easy when Copilot queries `get_asn` to fetch routing information. The agent can look up autonomous systems using just the raw number or the AS prefix. For deeper compliance and abuse tracking, the `get_whois_net` and `get_whois_poc` tools let the agent pull down network owner details and contact points. This speeds up the process of drafting takedown requests and security reports.

Setup guide

Set up IPinfo Alternative MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the IPinfo Alternative MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the IPinfo Alternative tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent IPinfo Alternative transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
