What is the IP Address Parser MCP Server?
A security agent receives the IP 10.0.14.7 and needs to know: is this a private address? Can it reach the internet? What CIDR block does it belong to? Ask an AI and you'll get a confident but often wrong answer.
This MCP uses ipaddr.js (30M+ weekly downloads) — the exact same library that Express.js, Koa, and Fastify use to parse IP addresses in production. Every classification follows RFC 5735 and RFC 4291.
The Superpowers
- Range Classification: Instantly know if an IP is unicast, private, loopback, multicast, linkLocal, or unspecified — no RFC memorization needed.
- CIDR Parsing: Pass
10.0.0.0/8and get the network address, prefix length, and address kind. - Dual Stack: Full IPv4 and IPv6 support with automatic format detection.
- IPv4↔IPv6 Conversion: Convert
192.168.1.1to its IPv4-mapped IPv6 representation::ffff:192.168.1.1and back.
Built-in capabilities (1)
The engine uses ipaddr.js (30M+ downloads) which is the standard IP parsing library used by Express.js and Koa. Validates and parses IPv4/IPv6 addresses. Supports CIDR notation, range detection, and IPv4↔IPv6 conversion

Frequently asked questions
How does it know if an IP is private or public?
It follows the IANA reserved ranges defined in RFC 5735 (IPv4) and RFC 4291 (IPv6). 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, and 192.168.x.x are classified as 'private'. 127.x.x.x as 'loopback'. Everything else as 'unicast' (public).
Can I check if an IP belongs to a specific CIDR range?
Yes. Pass the CIDR notation like '10.0.0.0/8' and the engine returns the network address, prefix length, and address kind. Parse both the IP and the CIDR to compare.
Does it work with IPv6 addresses?
Yes. Full IPv6 support including compressed notation (::1), IPv4-mapped (::ffff:192.168.1.1), and all RFC 4291 scoped addresses.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
