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
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings IP Address Parser data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

How Vinkius secures
IP Address Parser for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the IP Address Parser MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
