About Ipqualityscore
Ipqualityscore is an MCP server that exposes IPQualityScore fraud-prevention checks for IP addresses, email, phone numbers, and URLs. It serves security and fraud-analysis workflows and can run locally over stdio or through the Pipeworx gateway.
Key features
- 01IP proxy, VPN, and Tor detection
- 02Email validity and fraud checks
- 03Phone number validation and risk scoring
- 04URL phishing and malware checks
- 05Fraud scores and supporting signals
Use cases
- 01Assess an IP address during login review
- 02Check email risk during account registration
- 03Flag suspicious phone numbers
- 04Screen links for phishing or malware
MCP support
Exposes four IPQualityScore checks as MCP tools. It can run as a local stdio server or connect through the Pipeworx gateway, where shared gateway meta-tools are also listed.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEmcp-ipqualityscore
IPQualityScore MCP — wraps the IPQualityScore fraud-prevention API (ipqualityscore.com).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1881+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
check_ip | Fraud detection & risk scoring for an IP address. Answers "is this IP a proxy, VPN, or Tor exit node?", flags bots/crawlers and recent abuse, and returns a 0-100 fraud score plus geolocation (country, region, city, ISP, connection type). Example: check_ip({ ip: "8.8.8.8", strictness: 1 }) Requires your own IPQualityScore API key, passed as _apiKey. |
check_email | Email fraud & deliverability check. Validates an email address, detects disposable/temporary addresses, flags emails seen in data leaks, and returns a 0-100 fraud score plus deliverability, SMTP, and DNS validity signals. Example: check_email({ email: "[email protected]" }) Requires your own IPQualityScore API key, passed as _apiKey. |
check_phone | Phone number validation & fraud check. Confirms whether a number is valid and active, returns a 0-100 fraud score, and flags VOIP, prepaid, and risky numbers with line type, carrier, and region. Example: check_phone({ phone: "18007267864", country: "US" }) Requires your own IPQualityScore API key, passed as _apiKey. |
check_url | URL / malware safety scan. Checks whether a URL or domain is unsafe — phishing, malware, spam — and returns a risk score, domain reputation rank, content category, DNS validity, and domain age. Example: check_url({ url: "https://example.com" }) Requires your own IPQualityScore API key, passed as _apiKey. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ipqualityscore": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ipqualityscore/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ipqualityscore/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1881+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ipqualityscore_check_ip. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ipqualityscore": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-ipqualityscore"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-ipqualityscore
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Ipqualityscore data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
