whois-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides LLMs with network information lookup tools through WHOIS and RIPE Database queries.

Features

Available Tools

- whois_query - Query WHOIS servers for domains, IPs, and ASNs - expand_as_set - Recursively expand AS-SETs into concrete ASN lists - validate_route_object - Check IRR route/route6 object existence - contact_card - Fetch abuse, admin, and technical contacts

Regional Internet Registry (RIR) Support

Currently, this MCP server is primarily optimized for RIPE NCC (Europe/Middle East/Central Asia) resources and databases. Support for other Regional Internet Registries is planned.

Usage

With Claude Desktop (or any other MCP Client)

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{

  "mcpServers": {

    "whois-mcp": {

      "command": "/path/to/bin/uvx",

      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/dadepo/whois-mcp.git", "whois-mcp"]

    }

  }

}

Tool Usage Examples

Query Network Information

"What organization owns 8.8.8.8?"
→ Uses whois_query to retrieve registration details

Expand AS-SETs

"What ASNs are in AS-HURRICANE?"
→ Uses expand_as_set to list member ASNs

Validate Route Objects

"Is there a route object for 192.0.2.0/24 originated by AS64496?"
→ Uses validate_route_object to check IRR databases

Get Contact Information
