AbuseIPDB LLC · abuseipdb.com since 2010 · status page · who's behind it

AbuseIPDB is a crowdsourced database of IP addresses reported for abuse, run by AbuseIPDB LLC under Marathon Studios. Its API v2 returns an abuse confidence score and report history for an address, a subnet or a blacklist, and takes reports.

Best for An agent that needs a quick reputation verdict on an IP or subnet, or wants to report abuse from its own logs, with a free daily quota large enough for one incident.

Claim this listing

Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Security intel. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.

Assessment. A free key allows 1,000 IP checks a day with published per-endpoint limits, rate-limit headers and a 99 per cent SLA in the terms, and the official MCP server is read-only. One key covers reads, reports and deletes, the key may travel in a query string, there is no OpenAPI document, and the terms bar redistribution of results.

Facts verified 3 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • 1,000 checks and 1,000 reports a day on a free key with no card, and daily limits published for every endpoint and plan
  • 429 responses carry Retry-After and X-RateLimit headers, and errors follow the JSON API shape with a status and detail
  • The terms include a service level agreement with a 99 per cent monthly availability target
  • The first-party MCP server has two read-only tools annotated readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, with per-item errors in bulk checks
  • llms.txt on abuseipdb.com describes the API, categories and reporting rules for agents

Weaknesses

  • No OpenAPI document, no API changelog (the blog's last post is from December 2018) and the reports endpoint is marked open beta and may change without notice
  • One key per account reaches reads, reports, bulk reports and clear-address deletes, and the docs accept it as a query parameter
  • No security.txt, disclosure policy or certification found, and the status page's incident history could not be read
  • The terms bar reproducing, copying or reselling any portion of the service and its data, and free plans exclude commercial use
  • The privacy policy of 15 March 2023 gives no retention periods and marks every provider's GDPR status as in process

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Send Accept: application/json and the key in the Key header; without the Accept header the API answers with an HTML page
  2. Act on abuseConfidenceScore rather than isWhitelisted, and pass maxAgeInDays to bound how old the reports can be (default 30, maximum 365)
  3. Watch X-RateLimit-Remaining per endpoint and on a 429 wait for Retry-After, which can be most of a day since limits reset at 00:00 UTC
  4. Use check-block for a subnet (up to /24 on the free plan) and blacklist with confidenceMinimum only on a paid plan; over-limit limit values are truncated silently
  5. Strip personal data from report comments, which are public, and prefer the read-only MCP server when the task never reports

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The terms of use and privacy policy, both last updated 15 March 2023, name AbuseIPDB LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, under Pennsylvania law with arbitration in Philadelphia. The about page says the project is managed by Marathon Studios Inc.

Section 3 of the terms forbids accessing the website by automated means other than search engines that follow robots.txt and authorised API use. Public pages were read for this listing and the clause is recorded as a fact.

www.abuseipdb.com/robots.txt disallows /account and /enterprise/ for all crawlers with a crawl delay of 2; neither path was fetched. docs.abuseipdb.com has no robots.txt.

The changelog link is the MCP server's. No changelog for the REST API was found; the blog's newest post is dated 13 December 2018.

status.abuseipdb.com is an UptimeRobot page linked from the footer. Its monitors and history load by script and answered with an error when read on 3 November 2026.

www.abuseipdb.com/.well-known/security.txt returns 404. RDAP at Verisign gives a registration date of 6 April 2010.

Checked 2026-11-03 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Notable

  • API v2 at https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/ has seven endpoints. check, reports (open beta), blacklist and check-block are GET reads, report and bulk-report are POST writes, and clear-address is a DELETE of the caller's own reports source
  • Daily limits are published per endpoint and plan, 1,000 checks a day on the free plan to 50,000 on Premium, and a 429 carries Retry-After, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset source
  • The terms of 15 March 2023 include a service level agreement with a 99 per cent monthly availability target and a refund as the only remedy, and they bar reproducing, copying, selling or reselling any portion of the service and its data source
  • The first-party MCP server mcp-server-abuseipdb 0.1.1 (2 August 2026, MIT, beta) runs over stdio with two read-only tools, check_ip and bulk_check, both annotated readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and sits in the official MCP registry as io.github.abuseipdb/abuseipdb-mcp source
  • Confidence scores are recalculated daily from distinct reporters with time decay, and a free account can report the same address once every 15 minutes source

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run

Assessed on 3 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

CategoryWeight this runScorePoints
Reliabilitychecked 3 November 2026 16%20 15.0
Read with the hosted lines. A status page on UptimeRobot is linked from every page's footer (20). Its monitors and 90-day history load by script and answered with an error on 3 November 2026, so no incident record could be read (5). Daily limits are published per endpoint and per plan, 1,000 checks a day on the free plan up to 50,000 on Premium (15). A 429 carries Retry-After, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset, and a repeated report of the same address with the same comment within 24 hours updates the earlier report instead of adding one (15). The terms carry a service level agreement with a 99 per cent monthly availability target and a refund as the sole remedy (10). API v2 is generally available, with only the reports endpoint in open beta (10). 20 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 = 75.
Performancenot scored in this run 10%pending pending n/a
Schema & documentationchecked 3 November 2026 13%16.2 9.6
The surface graded is the REST API v2, with the official MCP server noted. No OpenAPI document was found. The MCP server's two tools carry JSON Schema inputs with range constraints from pydantic Field (8 of 25). llms.txt on abuseipdb.com describes the API, endpoints, categories and reporting rules (10). Each endpoint has a purpose statement and a parameter table, the FAQ explains scoring and decay, and the docs say to act on abuseConfidenceScore rather than isWhitelisted, with little on when not to call (14 of 20). Parameters give defaults and ranges (maxAgeInDays 1 to 365, perPage 1 to 100), usageType has a listed set of values and categories are numbered, but types are not stated and the categories default is ambiguous (10 of 15). Examples in cURL, Python, PHP, C# and VBScript for every endpoint, and errors follow the JSON API shape with 422, 429 and 402 examples (12 of 15). v2 is in the path, there is no API changelog, the blog's last post is from December 2018, and the reports endpoint may change without notice (5 of 15). 8 + 10 + 14 + 10 + 12 + 5 = 59.
Agent ergonomicschecked 3 November 2026 13%16.2 12.0
check returns a compact record unless verbose is set, which adds the reports array, maxAgeInDays bounds the window, and blacklist takes a limit and a plaintext form (18 of 25). reports is paginated with page and perPage up to 100 and next and previous links, and blacklist filters by confidence, country and IP version, though check has no field selection (16 of 20). Errors carry a status and a detail an agent can act on, 429 names the daily limit and the headers say when it resets, and a 402 marks a plan limit on check-block (16 of 20). Every lookup is a GET, duplicate reports within 24 hours collapse, and both MCP tools are annotated readOnlyHint and idempotentHint (16 of 20). One required parameter per endpoint with sensible defaults. No official SDK beyond a Laravel package in the vendor's GitHub organisation and the Python MCP server (8 of 15). 18 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 8 = 74.
Security & authchecked 3 November 2026 14%17.5 6.5
One API key per account with no scopes found, recommended in a Key header but also accepted as a query or form parameter per the docs (20 less 10 for the query string, so 10). The same key submits reports, bulk reports and clear-address deletes, with no read-only key; the official MCP server is read-only and its write-tool switch is inert (10 of 20). check and reports return reporter comments, which are public user-submitted text, and no guidance on treating them as untrusted was found (4 of 15). Paid plans include API log downloads for the last 24 to 120 hours and the pricing page lists the window per plan (10 of 15). security.txt returns 404, no disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification was found, and the MCP repository's SECURITY.md points to the vendor's support channels (3 of 20). 10 + 10 + 4 + 10 + 3 = 37.
Payments & pricingchecked 3 November 2026 10%12.5 3.8
No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public, $25 and $99 a month, sold by daily quota rather than per call (10). The Individual plan allows 1,000 checks a day with no card, and paid plans carry a 30-day trial (20). The key comes from the account page after a browser signup, and the terms forbid multiple accounts to raise quota, so no autonomous route (0). 0 + 10 + 20 + 0 = 30.
Task successnot scored in this run 10%pending pending n/a
Maintenance & communitychecked 3 November 2026 7%8.8 3.3
Read as a closed service with an official MCP server. The newest dated change to the surface is the MCP server's v0.1.1 on 2 August 2026, 93 days before the check; the API docs and blog carry no later date (10 of 30). One release in the last 90 days, v0.1.1 fell just outside it (0 of 20). Support is a contact form with no guaranteed response on the free plan, there is no public changelog for the API, and the MCP repository shows a pull request merged on 2 August but GitHub's issue pages could not be read (5 of 15). The MCP server sits in the official registry under io.github.abuseipdb (15). The MCP package has CI on Python 3.11 to 3.14 with ruff, pytest and a packaging check, and a locked dependency set (8 of 10). 10 + 0 + 5 + 15 + 8 = 38.
Transparency & trusteditorial 42, provenance 84checked 3 November 2026 7%8.8 5.5
A closed service with clear terms that name AbuseIPDB LLC and the governing law, and an MIT MCP server (15 of 30). The privacy policy of 15 March 2023 lists providers and says data is kept as long as needed, with no retention periods, no DPA and every provider's GDPR status marked in process (10 of 30). No deprecation policy; the reports endpoint may change without notice and the only migration note is from APIv1 (3 of 20). DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, Mailgun, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Carbon, PayPal, Braintree, Freshworks and Slack are named, with processing in the United States (14 of 20). 15 + 10 + 3 + 14 = 42.

  1. Graded 55.7 C methodology v0.7

Fix list 17 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on AbuseIPDB. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • unchecked: the incident history on status.abuseipdb.com, which loads by script and returned an error; reliability scores it as a page with no readable history
  • unchecked: whether an account can hold more than one key or revoke one, since the account pages are disallowed by robots.txt and the docs do not say
  • unchecked: PyPI download counts and the project page for mcp-server-abuseipdb, which answered with a bot check; version and dates are from the repository clone
  • Whether the Laravel package in the AbuseIPDB GitHub organisation is an official SDK; it has no description or documentation link
  • The relationship between AbuseIPDB LLC (terms, privacy policy) and Marathon Studios Inc (about page, FAQ); marathon-studios.com answered 403 on both hosts
  • firstReleased is the domain registration date, 6 April 2010. The FAQ says Marathon Studios took over management in March 2016 and the blog dates API v2 to 13 December 2018
  • The terms forbid automated access to the website outside the API and search engines; public pages were read for this listing and the clause is recorded as a fact

For the vendor

Is this your product? Link to this page from your own site or README, then tell us where. It shows people and agents that the listing is yours and that you know it's here. It never changes a grade, rank or review.

  1. Add the badge or a link

    <a href="https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/abuseipdb">AbuseIPDB on Anchor Terminal</a>

    It counts on a page on abuseipdb.com or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/AbuseIPDB/abuseipdb-mcp.

  2. Tell us where it is

    We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.

Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "abuseipdb", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
