Globalping MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings Globalping's distributed network measurement capabilities directly into your AI workflow. This server enables you to perform real-time network diagnostics from hundreds of locations worldwide, providing instant insights into latency, connectivity, and DNS resolution across the globe—all through natural language interactions with your AI assistant.

What is Globalping?

Globalping is a platform that provides access to a distributed network of probe nodes located around the world. These probes allow you to run network diagnostic commands like ping, traceroute, DNS lookups, and HTTP requests from multiple geographic locations simultaneously, giving you a comprehensive view of your infrastructure's global performance and accessibility.

Features

This MCP server provides seamless access to Globalping's core network diagnostic capabilities:

• Ping Tests: Measure latency and packet loss from multiple global locations to any target host
• Traceroute Analysis: Map the network path between probe locations and your endpoints to identify routing issues
• DNS Lookups: Query DNS records from different geographic regions to verify propagation and resolver behavior
• HTTP Requests: Test website accessibility and response times from diverse locations worldwide
• MTR (My Traceroute): Combine ping and traceroute functionality for comprehensive network path analysis

Use Cases

Debugging Global Infrastructure: Quickly identify regional connectivity issues or routing problems affecting users in specific geographic areas.

DNS Verification: Confirm that DNS changes have propagated correctly across different regions and DNS resolvers.

Performance Monitoring: Assess how your services perform from various locations around the world to optimize content delivery.

Incident Response: Rapidly gather network diagnostic data from multiple vantage points when investigating outages or degraded performance.

Compliance Testing: Verify that geographic routing and content delivery policies are working as intended.

How It Works

Simply ask your AI assistant to perform network diagnostics using natural language. The server translates your requests into Globalping API calls, executes them across the distributed probe network, and returns formatted results that are easy to understand and act upon. You can specify particular countries, cities, or let the system automatically select optimal probe locations for comprehensive global coverage.
