Implementation Reference

• gti_mcp/tools/netloc.py:177-193 (handler)

  Main handler function for get_ip_address_report. Decorated with @server.tool() to register as MCP tool. Fetches IP address analysis report from Google Threat Intelligence API using the vt_client, utils.fetch_object helper, and returns sanitized response.

  @server.tool()

      ip_address (required): IP Address to analyze. It can be IPv4 or IPv6.
    Returns:

• gti_mcp/tools/netloc.py:86-88 (schema)

  Schema definition for IP_KEY_RELATIONSHIPS - specifies which relationships to include in IP address reports (associations). Used as the relationships parameter in fetch_object call.

  IP_KEY_RELATIONSHIPS = [
      "associations",
  ]

• gti_mcp/utils.py:29-84 (helper)

  Helper function fetch_object that makes the actual API call to VirusTotal/GTI. Handles API errors, builds response object, and removes aggregations from attributes. Used by get_ip_address_report to fetch IP data.

• gti_mcp/utils.py:119-138 (helper)

  Helper function sanitize_response that recursively removes empty dictionaries and lists from the API response. Used to clean up the response before returning from get_ip_address_report.

  def sanitize_response(data: typing.Any) -> typing.Any:
    """Removes empty dictionaries and lists recursively from a response."""

• gti_mcp/server.py:56-64 (helper)

  Context manager vt_client that provides a VirusTotal client instance. Handles API key retrieval (from argument or environment variable), client creation, and cleanup. Used by get_ip_address_report via 'async with vt_client(ctx, api_key=api_key) as client:'.

  @asynccontextmanager
  async def vt_client(ctx: Context, api_key: str = None) -> AsyncIterator[vt.Client]:
    """Provides a vt.Client instance for the current request."""
    client = vt_client_factory(ctx, api_key)
