Perplexity

Filter dirty leads inside Claude Desktop

The `email_lookup` tool checks incoming sign-up addresses inside Claude Desktop to flag temporary mailboxes and high-risk domains before you import them. Your agent runs this check directly against the IPQS database to return deliverability scores and fraud markers. If a lead looks dirty, use `phone_lookup` in the same Claude Desktop window to analyze the phone line type and risk indicators. This keeps your Claude Desktop session clean without requiring manual copy-pasting of phone data into an external browser.

Run live IP threat analysis via MCP Server

The `ip_lookup` tool analyzes any IP address directly in your Claude Desktop chat to expose active proxies, VPNs, and botnet nodes. Your Claude Desktop agent parses the raw IPQS geographical data and fraud scores to tell you exactly who is hitting your endpoint. When you paste server logs into Claude Desktop, this MCP Server maps the suspicious traffic patterns and identifies automated scrapers. You get immediate threat intelligence without writing custom shell scripts or leaving your chat interface.

Track fraud metrics and API credits

The `get_credits` tool monitors your API quota inside Claude Desktop so you never run out of lookups during an active security incident. Your agent pulls your remaining balance to help you manage high-volume log audits. Pair this with `get_account` to verify your subscription limits and plan status directly from the Claude Desktop command interface. You keep your security operations running smoothly without logging into the IPQS dashboard.
