Peering MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 19 Sep 2026.
Who peers with whom, where they meet, and who an address range belongs to. PeeringDB and RDAP.
Today is the operative word: we check Peering MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
PEERINGDB_API_KEY (A free PeeringDB API key. Recommended, not required: it raises the rate limit, and every tool works without one.), PEERING_MCP_CACHE_TTL (How long a cached upstream response stays usable, in seconds.), PEERING_MCP_CACHE_DIR (Where the on-disk cache lives. Defaults to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/peering-mcp.), PEERING_MCP_NO_CACHE (Set to 1 to disable caching. Slower, and harder on the upstream APIs.), PEERING_MCP_TIMEOUT (Per-request timeout in seconds.), PEERING_MCP_MAX_RETRIES (Attempts before an upstream failure is reported.).
