PeeringDB Location Server
A Go-based MCP (Model Control Protocol) server that provides information about Internet Exchange (IX) locations for Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) using the PeeringDB API.
Features
- Retrieves IX locations for any given ASN
- Shows operational status of each IX location
- Provides city information for each peering point
- Formatted output with emoji indicators for better readability
Prerequisites
- Go 1.x or higher
- Access to PeeringDB API
- The following Go packages:
- github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go/mcp
- github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go/server
Installation
- Clone the repository
- Install dependencies:
go mod download
Usage
The server provides a single tool called get_peering_locations that accepts an ASN as input and returns formatted information about all IX locations where that AS is present.
Example Response Format
🌐 IX Locations for AS64496:
1. Example IX
📍 London
Status: 🟢 Operational
2. Another IX
📍 Frankfurt
Status: 🔴 Not Operational
Status Indicators
- 🟢 Operational: The IX connection is active
- 🔴 Not Operational: The IX connection is currently down or inactive
API Integration
The server integrates with two PeeringDB API endpoints:
/api/net- Used to resolve ASN to PeeringDB network ID/api/netixlan- Used to fetch IX location information
Error Handling
The server handles several error cases:
- Invalid ASN format
- ASN not found in PeeringDB
- API connection errors
- Invalid response data
Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Please ensure your code follows the existing structure and includes appropriate error handling.
