Description
IPInfo MCP — wraps ipinfo.io (free tier, no auth required for basic usage)
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a thin wrapper that delegates work to a remote MCP by running 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest' against gateway.pipeworx.io. That means when invoked the agent will download and execute code from npm and connect to an external server, which could perform arbitrary actions or exfiltrate data. Before installing/use, consider: 1) Only proceed if you trust pipeworx.io and gateway.pipeworx.io. 2) Ask the author to provide a pinned package version or the source code for mcp-remote and the MCP endpoint. 3) Prefer running ipinfo calls directly yourself (e.g., curl https://ipinfo.io) if you want minimal risk. 4) If you must use this skill, run it in a sandboxed environment or restrict network access and review the network traffic. 5) If in an enterprise, have security review the mcp-remote package and the remote endpoint. These steps will reduce the risk of executing untrusted remote code or unintended data exposure.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-ipinfo
Version: 1.0.0
The skill relies on executing a remote MCP server via 'npx -y mcp-remote' connecting to an external gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io). While this is a functional pattern for remote tools, it introduces a significant security risk as the actual execution logic is hosted externally and not contained within the bundle, making it impossible to verify the safety of the code being run by the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description describe an ipinfo wrapper and the SKILL.md points to an MCP that provides lookup_ip/get_my_ip tools — this matches the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent to add an mcpServers entry that runs 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ipinfo/mcp'. That instructs the agent to fetch and run remote code and to connect to an external gateway; these actions go beyond simple API calls and allow arbitrary network I/O and code execution at runtime.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec, but the suggested connect command uses npx with an unpinned 'latest' package and an external URL. Dynamically fetching and executing mcp-remote@latest is high-risk because the package contents can change and execute arbitrary code on demand.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It does not request unrelated credentials; the lack of declared secrets is appropriate for the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request 'always: true' and does not declare actions that persist or modify other skills. It requires runtime network/code fetch but no elevated platform privileges in metadata.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-ipinfo - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-ipinfo - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
