Globalping MCP Server

Connect ChatGPT and Claude to global network monitoring with Globalping MCP server. Run ping, traceroute, DNS, and HTTP tests from 100+ worldwide locations instantly through AI assistants.

Globalping is a platform that allows anyone to run networking commands such as ping, traceroute, dig, curl and mtr on probes distributed all around the world. The Globalping MCP (Model Context Protocol) server brings this powerful global network monitoring capability directly to your AI assistants, including ChatGPT custom connectors and Claude custom connectors.

This remote MCP server transforms how network engineers, DevOps teams, and system administrators interact with global network diagnostics by integrating seamlessly with popular AI platforms. You can use it to optimize your anycast network, monitor your latency, debug routing issues and even check for censorship in different countries.

Remote MCP Server Advantages

Reduce duplicate development effort since a single MCP server implementation works with multiple MCP clients. Avoid vendor lock-in by providing flexibility to switch between LLM providers, since the LLM is no longer tightly coupled with the agentic system. Speed up the development process significantly by enabling rapid creation of workable products.
