How to configure firewall allowlists with your AI

Connect BugBug to your AI client to pull live IP data whenever your security rules need updating.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I get BugBug IP addresses for my firewall?

Ask your AI to run the get_ips tool to pull the latest BugBug IP ranges. You'll get the exact addresses needed to update your security rules without digging through documentation. This ensures your firewall stays in sync with BugBug's infrastructure.

Where every update lands.

The outcomes of this task.

Your AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the security configuration.

DATA

Current IP ranges

The AI uses get_ips to fetch the most recent BugBug IP addresses. You get a clean list ready for your firewall.

SECURITY

Updated allowlists

You take the retrieved IPs and apply them to your cloud provider or local firewall. This keeps your testing environment accessible.

DOCS

Zero manual searching

The AI pulls the data directly from the source. You don't have to hunt through help articles for changing IP lists.

HUMAN

Manual rule application

The AI provides the data, but you must manually enter the IPs into your firewall settings. The AI cannot touch your security infrastructure.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for IPs.

The AI acts as the bridge between BugBug's live infrastructure and your security settings.

  1. Fetch IP data

    Your AI calls the specific tool to grab the current list of BugBug IP addresses.

    get_ips

  2. Format the list

    The AI organizes the raw IP data into a readable format, like a comma-separated list or a JSON array.

    get_ips

  3. Verify requirements

    The AI checks the retrieved data against your specific request to ensure you have the right ranges.

    get_ips

  4. Present to user

    The AI delivers the final list of IPs directly in your chat interface.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI update my firewall rules automatically?

    No. The AI only retrieves the IP addresses. You must manually apply them to your firewall or security group.

  • 02

    Does the AI know if the IPs have changed since yesterday?

    Yes, because the tool fetches the live data from BugBug every time you ask.

  • 03

    Can the AI delete old IP addresses from my allowlist?

    No. The AI has no access to your security infrastructure or cloud provider settings.

  • 04

    Will the AI provide the IPs in a specific format?

    Yes, you can tell your AI to format the output as a list, a table, or a specific configuration string.

  • 05

    Does this work with any MCP-compatible client?

    Yes, it works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
