Documentation
Globalping MCP Server
Enable AI models to interact with a global network measurement platform through natural language. Give network access to any LLM.
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
