Extended access
Why this level
- Sends requests to the target addresses from third-party probes; targets are visible to the Globalping operator
Install
- Works in
In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI
npx skillfoxx add mcp/globalping-mcp-serverDetects the agents on your machine, shows the access level and pins the version.

What it does
The server gives an agent access to the public Globalping probe network. It runs ping, traceroute, DNS lookups, MTR and HTTP checks from thousands of locations in different countries and returns results in a form models parse easily. Results from different places can be compared: latency, route and responses for the same target. The server is hosted at `https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp`, nothing to install. Basic rate limits apply anonymously; OAuth sign-in or an API token raises them.
Who it is for. Developers and network engineers who investigate site availability and speed from different regions.
Good fit when
- A site is slow in one country and you want to compare latency with other regions
- You need to check how a DNS record answers from several places after a change
- You need traceroute to a server from several countries but have only one terminal
- You need to confirm a site answers over HTTP from several countries after moving hosts
- You want to compare MTR routes to two servers
Not a fit when
- The service sits in a private internal network: probes work from the public internet
- You need continuous monitoring and alerts instead of one-off measurements
- You need to test inside a company private network, which probes cannot see
Example request
Ping example.com from Germany, Brazil and Japan and compare the latenciesMCP

Environment variables
GLOBALPING_API_TOKENsecret- API token for higher limits, sent in the Authorization header
Limitations
Measurements only reach public addresses. Rate limits are lower without sign-in; higher limits need a Globalping account with OAuth or an API token. Probes sit in networks of volunteers and providers, so accuracy depends on the specific location and a single run is worth repeating. Reproducible monitoring needs a dedicated service, while this server suits on-demand diagnostics and regional comparison.
How to disable. Run `claude mcp remove globalping` or delete the config entry; revoke an API token in dash.globalping.io.
FAQ
Is installation needed?
No, the server is hosted: add `https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp` to the client.
How do I connect with an API token?
Create a token in dash.globalping.io and send it as an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header in the server configuration.
Which checks are available?
Ping, traceroute, DNS, MTR and HTTP.
Is there free access?
Yes, Globalping is described as a free public API; OAuth sign-in or a token raises limits.
How do I connect it to Cursor?
Add an SSE or HTTP server with the address `https://mcp.globalping.dev/mcp` in MCP settings.
