Checking your public IP…
What this address tells you
This is the address seen by Packetrove for this request. If you use a VPN or proxy, it is the exit address. Your browser and command-line tools can use different network paths.
A connection uses either IPv4 or IPv6. This check shows that address; it does not discover both families or your private local address. Refresh after changing networks or proxy settings.
Questions about your public IP
Which IP address does this page show?
The public address observed for your browser’s current request to Packetrove. It is not your private local address and does not identify your device.
What changes when I use a VPN or proxy?
The result shows the exit address used by that connection. Refresh after changing networks, VPNs, or proxy settings. It does not reveal an address before the proxy.
Does a check discover both IPv4 and IPv6?
No. One request observes one address family. A successful check does not establish connectivity in both IPv4 and IPv6.
Why can an AI agent or CLI report a different IP?
Each interface observes the connection making its request. A hosted MCP client may use a different network from your browser. Run the web tool or CLI on the network path you want to inspect.
Are IP results stored or cached?
The application keeps the current result in memory for display, without lookup history or address logging. Results and errors are not cached. The hosting platform still processes the request under its settings.
Inspect a connection through MCP
Ask an AI agent to inspect the public IP observed for the connection making its MCP tool call.
Tool name: public-ip
Server address: https://api.packetrove.com/mcp
Streamable HTTP · No account or API key required
Pass an empty object, {}. The tool observes the request connection; it does not accept an IP address to look up.
Example arguments
{}Example result using documentation addresses
{
"ip": "203.0.113.1",
"family": "ipv4"
}The example uses a documentation address. A real call returns the observed ip and its family, either ipv4 or ipv6, for that request.
A hosted AI client can return its own exit address. To inspect your browser connection, use this web tool; to inspect your computer’s command-line connection, run the CLI on that computer. One call does not discover both families, private local addresses, or an address before a proxy. The result is not an identity proof.
