# How to Research IP Ownership with Claude

Claude digs deep into IP ownership, correlating ISP names with ASN numbers, network ranges, and organizational details. It compares ownership across multiple IPs to find patterns, identifies whether traffic originates from corporate networks or cloud infrastructure, and explains the significance of each finding for your security investigation.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Look up who owns this IP address using ip-geolocation" and provide the IP
3. Claude returns the ISP, organization, ASN, and location
4. Ask: "Is this a residential ISP, cloud provider, or corporate network?"
5. Use the ownership data for your research or security investigation

## Example Prompt

```
Who owns the IP address 104.26.10.78? I need the ISP, organization, ASN, and whether this is a hosting provider or corporate network.
```

## Tips

- ASN data helps identify the network operator even when organization names are generic
- Cloud provider IPs typically belong to AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar services
- Combine with reverse DNS for additional ownership clues
