Globalping MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings Globalping's network measurement capabilities directly to your AI assistant. This integration enables you to perform network diagnostics, latency tests, and connectivity checks from hundreds of probe locations worldwide, all through natural conversation with your AI.

Overview

The Globalping MCP server bridges the gap between AI-powered workflows and real-world network diagnostics. By connecting to Globalping's distributed network of measurement probes, you can instantly gather network performance data from multiple geographic locations without leaving your development environment or conversation flow.

What It Does

This server provides AI assistants with the ability to execute common network diagnostic commands from probe locations distributed across the globe. You can test connectivity, measure latency, trace routes, and verify DNS resolution as if you were physically present in different regions and networks worldwide.

Key Features

Network Diagnostics

• Ping tests: Measure latency and packet loss to any target from various global locations
• Traceroute: Visualize network paths and identify routing issues across different regions
• DNS lookups: Query DNS records from multiple locations to verify propagation and resolution
• HTTP requests: Test web service availability and response times from a global perspective
• MTR (My Traceroute): Combine ping and traceroute functionality for comprehensive path analysis

Global Coverage

Access hundreds of measurement probes distributed across continents, countries, and network types. Test from specific cities, countries, or let the system select optimal probe locations automatically. This geographic diversity ensures you can validate network behavior from your users' actual locations.

Real-Time Results

Receive immediate feedback from network measurements, enabling quick troubleshooting and validation. Results include detailed metrics, timing information, and raw command output for thorough analysis.

Use Cases

• Debugging connectivity issues: Identify whether problems are local, regional, or global
• Validating deployments: Confirm services are accessible from target markets
• Performance monitoring: Measure latency and response times from user locations
• DNS propagation checks: Verify DNS changes have propagated worldwide
• Network path analysis: Understand routing behavior across different regions

How to Use

Once configured, simply ask your AI assistant to perform network diagnostics. You can make requests like:

• "Ping example.com from Europe"
• "Run a traceroute to my server from Asia"
• "Check DNS resolution for my domain from multiple locations"
• "Test HTTP response time from South America"

The server handles the complexity of interacting with Globalping's API, allowing you to focus on interpreting results and making decisions based on real-world network data.
