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 two authentication methods: OAuth and API token authentication. Both methods offer a secure way to interact with our API and provide 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
• 🔑 Authentication Support: Use OAuth or API token with your 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:

Gemini CLI

To add the Globalping MCP server to Gemini CLI:

1. Ensure you have the Gemini CLI installed.
2. Run the following command:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping-mcp-server

This will automatically configure the server with OAuth authentication enabled. You will be prompted to log in when you first use the extension.

Note: If you prefer to use a Globalping API token (for higher rate limits or automation), you can manually add the server with the Authorization header instead of using the extension installer:

gemini mcp add globalping https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

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):

[!note] Claude Desktop natively supports only stdio transport for local MCP servers. For remote MCP servers, use the mcp-remote bridge.
