Globalping MCP Server
by
Provides LLMs with the ability to execute network measurement commands such as ping, traceroute, DNS, MTR, and HTTP across a global set of probes.
Globalping MCP Server Overview
What is Globalping MCP Server about?
Enables AI models to interact with Globalping’s worldwide network of measurement probes, allowing natural‑language requests like "Ping google.com from 3 locations in Europe" to be turned into real network tests.
How to use Globalping MCP Server?
- Choose a transport endpoint (streamable HTTP
https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcpor SSEhttps://mcp.globalping.dev/sse). - Add the server to your MCP‑compatible client configuration (Claude Desktop, Anthropic Console, Cursor, etc.) using an
npx mcp-remotecommand. - Issue natural‑language prompts; the server parses them, calls the Globalping API, and returns structured results the LLM can consume.
Key Features of Globalping MCP Server
- Global Network Access – Run measurements from thousands of probes worldwide.
- AI‑Friendly Interface – Results are formatted for easy consumption by any LLM.
- Full Measurement Suite – Ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, MTR, HTTP request.
- Smart Context Handling – Descriptive parameter metadata guides LLM decision‑making.
- Comparative Analysis – Built‑in tool to compare performance across locations.
- OAuth Support – Use personal Globalping credentials for higher rate limits.
- Multiple Transports – Streamable HTTP and Server‑Sent Events (SSE).
Use Cases of Globalping MCP Server
- Automated Network Debugging – An AI assistant can diagnose connectivity problems across regions without manual CLI work.
- Performance Benchmarking – Generate latency reports for CDNs, APIs, or websites from diverse locations.
- Education & Tutorials – Students can ask a model to demonstrate network tools and see live results.
- Monitoring Automation – Combine with scheduling agents to run periodic checks and trigger alerts.
FAQ from the Globalping MCP Server
Q: Do I need a Globalping account? A: No, the public API works without authentication, but OAuth provides higher rate limits and access to premium features.
Q: Which LLMs can use this server? A: Any model that implements the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, Anthropic Assistants, Cursor, Windsurf, or custom implementations.
Q: How are credentials supplied?
A: Add your OAuth client ID/secret as Cloudflare Workers secrets (GLOBALPING_CLIENT_ID) and store tokens in the configured KV namespace.
Q: Can I run measurements from a specific cloud provider?
A: Yes, locations support tags like aws-us-east-1, gcp-us-central1, etc., and can be combined using the + syntax.
Q: What transport should I choose? A: The streamable HTTP endpoint is the most widely supported; SSE is useful for environments that prefer event streams.
Globalping MCP Server's README
Globalping MCP Server
What is Globalping?
Globalping is a free, public API that provides access to a globally distributed network of probes for monitoring, debugging, and benchmarking internet infrastructure. With Globalping, you can run network tests (ping, traceroute, DNS, MTR, HTTP) from thousands of locations worldwide.
What is the Globalping MCP Server?
The Globalping MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI models like OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude to interact with Globalping's network measurement capabilities through natural language.
It also supports oAuth authentication, which offers a secure way to interact with our API and benefits from higher rate limits associated with your account.
Key Features
- 🌐 Global Network Access: Run measurements from thousands of probes worldwide
- 🤖 AI-Friendly Interface: Any LLM will easily parse the data and run new measurements as needed
- 📊 Comprehensive Measurements: Support for ping, traceroute, DNS, MTR, and HTTP tests
- 🔍 Smart Context Handling: Provides detailed parameter descriptions for AI clients to intelligently select measurement types and options
- 🔄 Comparative Analysis: Allows to compare network performance between different targets
- 🔑 oAuth Support: Use your own Globalping account for higher rate limits
Installation
The remote MCP server is available under these endpoints:
- Streamable HTTP transport:
https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp - SSE transport:
https://mcp.globalping.dev/sse
You can integrate our Globalping MCP server with various AI tools that support the Model Context Protocol.
Here are instructions for the top 3 most popular tools:
Claude Desktop App
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file (located at %APPDATA%\Claude\config.json on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/config.json on macOS):
Streamable HTTP transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"globalping": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp"
]
}
}
}
Legacy SSE transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"globalping": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.globalping.dev/sse"
]
}
}
}
Anthropic Claude API (via Console)
When creating a Claude Assistant in the Anthropic Console:
- Go to console.anthropic.com
- Navigate to the Assistants section
- Create a new Assistant or edit an existing one
- In the Tools section, select "Add custom tool"
- Enter the following details:
- Tool Name:
Globalping - Description:
Run network tests from locations worldwide - Tool URL:
https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp(Streamable HTTP transport) orhttps://mcp.globalping.dev/sse(SSE transport)
- Tool Name:
Cursor
To add the Globalping MCP server to Cursor:
- Open Cursor settings
- Navigate to the MCP tab
- Click on "+ Add new global MCP server"
- This opens the
mcp.jsonconfig file, where you will need to add:
Streamable HTTP transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"globalping": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp"

{
"mcpServers": {
"globalping": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-remote",

Usage Examples
Once connected to an AI model through a compatible MCP client, you can interact with Globalping using natural language:
Ping google.com from 3 locations in Europe
Run a traceroute to github.com from Japan and compare with traceroute from the US
Check the DNS resolution of example.com using Google DNS (8.8.8.8)
Is jsdelivr.com reachable from China? Test with both ping and HTTP
What's the average response time for cloudflare.com across different continents?
Location Specification
Locations can be specified using the "magic" field, which supports various formats:
- Continent codes: "EU", "NA", "AS", etc.
- Country codes: "US", "DE", "JP", etc.
- City names: "London", "Tokyo", "New York", etc.
- Network names: "Cloudflare", "Google", etc.
- ASN numbers: "AS13335", "AS15169", etc.
- Cloud provider regions: "aws-us-east-1", "gcp-us-central1", etc.
You can also combine these with a plus sign for more specific targeting: "London+UK", "Cloudflare+US", etc.
Development
The codebase is organized into modules:
src/index.ts- Main entry point and MCP agent definitionsrc/globalping/types.ts- TypeScript interfaces for the Globalping APIsrc/globalping/api.ts- API wrapper functions for Globalpingsrc/globalping/tools.ts- MCP tool implementationssrc/utils.ts- Helper utilities for rendering the web UI
