IPRoyal (Proxy Services) MCP Tools for Claude Desktop (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect IPRoyal (Proxy Services) to Claude Desktop via MCP:
add_whitelist_ip
This is highly recommended for securely authenticating headless scrapers or servers where you do not want to expose proxy credentials in source code. Authorize a new IP for IPRoyal proxy access
change_credentials
If you suspect your proxy credentials have leaked or you need to rotate access keys for security, use this tool to set a new username and password instantly. Update username/password for an IPRoyal proxy order
generate_proxy_string
Standard format is `geo.iproyal.com:10000:username:password`. Pass `country` to append geographic targeting rules, or `session` for sticky IP sessions. Helper to generate a dynamic geo-targeted proxy string
get_availability
Useful to dynamically determine if a target region has sufficient IPs before initiating a geo-targeted crawl. By default targets "residential". Check proxy IP availability across different countries
get_profile
Use this to ensure there are enough funds before executing large scraping runs. Get IPRoyal account balance and profile details
get_traffic
Residential proxies are billed by traffic, so regular monitoring with this endpoint prevents unexpected depletion of funds. Get precise proxy traffic consumption statistics for an order
list_countries
Contains the specific country codes (e.g., "us", "de") and region identifiers required to construct geo-targeted proxy connection strings (e.g., appending "_country-us" to the password). Get list of supported geo-targeting countries, cities, and ISPs
list_orders
An order represents a purchased batch of proxy traffic or IPs (e.g., Royal Residential, Sneaker IPs). The response contains order IDs necessary for traffic lookups and credential management. Get all active proxy orders (Residential, Datacenter)
list_whitelisted_ips
Whitelisted IPs can connect directly to the proxy endpoints without supplying the username and password in the connection string. List IPs allowed to connect to IPRoyal without user/pass
remove_whitelist_ip
Required for security hygiene when scraping servers are decommissioned or IP addresses change. Revoke an IP from IPRoyal proxy access
