About litport-mcp
litport-mcp connects coding agents and chat clients to the Litport API for proxy token, package, pool, and targeting operations. It masks token passwords in bulk listings by default and can build validated proxy URLs; it cannot create or purchase tokens or packages.

- 03Update a package's allowed IP addresses
- 04Build a proxy URL for a selected pool
MCP support
Exposes Litport API operations as tools for MCP clients, including token and package inspection, selected configuration changes, and proxy URL construction. Token passwords are masked in list results by default and returned for a specifically requested token.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMELitport MCP server
A Model Context Protocol server for the Litport API: inspect proxy tokens, usage, packages, and pay-per-GB pools/geo targeting; change a token's location, rotation interval, or get a new IP; manage a package's allowed-IP list; and build ready-to-use proxy connection URLs — directly from a coding agent or chat client.
The server cannot create, buy, renew, cancel, or disable a token or package, reset credentials, or spend account balance. It can change a token's location and rotation interval, request a new IP for a datacenter/ISP token, and add, remove, or set a package's allowed IPs.
Install and configure
Create an API key at litport.net/users/settings, then add the
server to your MCP client's config with LITPORT_API_KEY in its env block.
Claude Code
claude mcp add litport -e LITPORT_API_KEY=lit_your_key_here -- npx -y @litportnet/litport-mcp
Or in .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"litport": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@litportnet/litport-mcp"],
"env": {
"LITPORT_API_KEY": "lit_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Add the same block to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers:
{
"mcpServers": {
"litport": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@litportnet/litport-mcp"],
"env": {
"LITPORT_API_KEY": "lit_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
Add the same block to .cursor/mcp.json, or use Cursor's Settings → MCP → Add new MCP Server with
command npx -y @litportnet/litport-mcp and LITPORT_API_KEY in the environment variables field.
Credential exposure — two options
Proxy tokens carry a username/password pair. Putting every password from list_tokens into the
model's context by default is unnecessary exposure for a browse operation, so the server ships two
ways to reach a real password:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
Default (LITPORT_MCP_REVEAL_CREDENTIALS unset) | list_tokens masks each token's password (null, with passwordSet: true), and adds a hint pointing at get_token_credentials or build_proxy_url. get_token_credentials and build_proxy_url always return the real password for the one token requested. |
LITPORT_MCP_REVEAL_CREDENTIALS=1 | list_tokens returns every password unmasked, alongside everything else. |
Either way, nothing is ever permanently unreachable — the default just keeps bulk listings out of the model's context until a specific token is named.
Tools
| Tool | Calls the API? | Writes? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
list_tokens | yes | List proxy tokens, paginated by cursor and an optional packageId filter; masks passwords by default. | |
get_token_credentials | yes | Get one token by id, including its real password. | |
get_token_usage | yes | Get bandwidth usage for a token, optionally by domain and/or hourly charges. | |

The read tools are annotated readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true.
Every write tool documents in its own description whether it changes something and whether it is
safe to repeat; get_new_ip is the one exception (idempotentHint: false) — see below.
Token location, rotation, and new IP
set_token_location sends only the keys you give it — region/city for a datacenter/ISP token,
or city/carrier for a mobile token — so give exactly one of those two shapes. It is safe to
repeat: resending the already-saved target is a no-op. A standard US Shared Mobile token allows this
once per 48 hours; on a 409 CHANGE_LIMIT the error carries nextChangeAt and a Retry-After
header, both of which the tool surfaces, so the model knows when it can try again instead of
retrying blindly.
set_rotation changes a token's rotation interval to one of its own rotation.options values, and
answers NOT_SUPPORTED when rotation.changeable is false (e.g. a Multi-location mobile token,
whose interval always follows its current phone).
get_new_ip requests a new IP for a datacenter/ISP token. On a static token it spends the weekly
allowance and is not safe to blindly retry: call get_token_location first and check
canChangeNow/nextChangeAt, because a second call inside the same week fails with
CHANGE_LIMIT rather than returning a second new IP. If a call's result is lost or ambiguous,
re-read get_token_location instead of calling it again.
On a rotating token it works at any time. The new IP is always different from the current one, and
the token's automatic timer restarts. Two calls must be at least the type's shortest rotation
interval apart (the smallest value in the token's rotation.options); inside that wait the call
fails with CHANGE_LIMIT, nextChangeAt and Retry-After. LOCATION_UNAVAILABLE means no other IP
qualifies right now: nothing changed, and the call still uses up the wait. After a lost result,
get_token_location cannot confirm the change (its canChangeNow/nextChangeAt are about the
location, not this wait). Calling again after Retry-After is harmless and just gives another new
IP; a CHANGE_LIMIT right after a lost result does not prove the change happened.
Package allowed-IP writes
The MCP server exposes set_allowed_ips (the whole list at once), add_allowed_ip, and
remove_allowed_ip for exact public IPv4 addresses. IPv6 is unsupported; contact support. They
identify an address by the IP itself — no address ID and no revision precondition. The latest
committed, successful call wins; adding an address already active, or removing one already absent,
is a no-op. remove_allowed_ip is marked destructive because it removes passwordless access from an
IP; set_allowed_ips is too, because an omitted address is removed. A package includes one IPv4
address or supports up to 50 with the add-on; contact support after reaching 50. The passwordless
endpoint itself lives on each token as ipAuth (list_tokens/get_token_credentials), not here.
build_proxy_url and the two token types
A pay-per-GB token is request-selected: build_proxy_url appends the pool, geo and session
segments to the username and picks the port matching the chosen protocol. A token with a saved pool
takes no pool argument and refuses a conflicting one; a token without a saved pool requires pool,
because the pool sets the price.
An unlimited token is assigned exactly one endpoint, so it takes no pool, geo or session
arguments — passing them is refused by name rather than silently producing a username the proxy
rejects, and no pools request is made for it at all. If its hub is no longer in service, the tool
says so instead of returning a broken URL. Passing passwordless: true on an unlimited token builds
a credential-free URL from its ipAuth endpoint instead — see add_allowed_ip first if ipAuth is
still null.
Parameters are validated against the published rules before anything is returned, so a malformed country slug or an out-of-range session lifetime is reported without spending a request.

Contracts
src/contracts.generated.js vendors the proxy error reference and pay-per-GB parameter rules from
the Litport web application, so explain_proxy_error and build_proxy_url answer without a network
call. It is generated, not hand-edited, and a parity check in the application fails if the two ever
disagree. Regenerate with npm run generate-contracts from the copy inside the Litport
application repository, where the source contracts live.
