Standardize network audits in VS Code Copilot

Commit your configuration to Git and let your entire team run `get_ip_details` over MCP directly inside VS Code Copilot. Every engineer gets instant access to geographic and network details without sharing private API keys. When debugging production logs, developers can ask VS Code Copilot to analyze IP fields on the fly using live IPinfo data. The agent fetches real-time data to help identify if traffic spikes are coming from legitimate user clusters or unexpected regions.

Block proxy traffic using this MCP Server in VS Code

Use `get_privacy_details` in VS Code Copilot to write and test middleware that filters out malicious VPNs and Tor exit nodes. VS Code Copilot pulls live privacy flags to help you write exact conditional checks. You can also verify CIDR blocks using `get_ip_range` inside VS Code Copilot to ensure your cloud security groups are configured correctly. The agent analyzes the range output and suggests precise firewall rules for your deployment scripts.

Trace network operators and historical ownership

Run `get_asn_details` within VS Code Copilot to identify the hosting provider or telecom operator behind any IP address. This helps your team quickly triage server access issues or routing anomalies. For older infrastructure, query `get_ip_historical` inside VS Code Copilot to verify past network allocations. Copilot reads these historical records to help you document legacy IP blocks during migration planning.
