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
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.
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, and invalid response data.
