What types of IP addresses can I check?

The MCP supports checking both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You can run a check against the global abuse database for any address type.

Is this for live threat monitoring?

Yes. You can use the MCP to audit incoming traffic patterns and check IP reputations in real time. It helps you identify suspicious IPs quickly.

Does this MCP require a subscription?

Yes, you must subscribe to the MCP and provide your AbuseIPDB API Key to connect it to your AI client.

What kind of data do I get back?

You get high-resolution reputation metadata, the abuse confidence score, and detailed reporting history for the IP address you query.

Can I use this with my existing AI workflow?

Absolutely. You connect it once from any MCP-compatible client, and your agent can use the capabilities within the catalog immediately.

How do I find my AbuseIPDB API Key?

Log in to your AbuseIPDB account, and you can generate an API Key in the API section. Copy and paste it below.

Does it support checking IPv6 addresses?

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Forensic Incident Response

When investigating a breach, your agent checks the IP address of the attacker to determine its reputation and historical abuse patterns.

Monitoring Server Logs

Instead of manually searching logs, your agent audits incoming traffic IPs to flag suspicious activity immediately.

Maintaining Network Access

You can query the global blacklist to ensure that only trusted IPs are allowed into your network infrastructure.

Pre-Deployment Audits

Before connecting a new service, your agent checks its source IP to confirm it has a clean reputation score.

Automate a task

Put AbuseIPDB to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

AbuseIPDB works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put AbuseIPDB to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of AbuseIPDB, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with AbuseIPDB. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
