URL Location Skill

Overview

URL Lookup works by analyzing the URL provided and looking up the location. It uses advanced algorithms to lookup the location of the URL and returns the location.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as URLLocationSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

{
  "name": "URLLocationSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://www.google.com"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about https://www.google.com in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for URLLocationSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

A call costs 10 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Inbound Link Auditing

SEO and security analysts check the hosting country and IP address of external backlinks to spot foreign spam networks.

Data Sovereignty Compliance

Verify whether client-submitted website destinations host their data inside specific geographical boundaries or outside designated regulatory borders.

Suspicious Redirect Screening

To catch cloaked phishing campaigns, threat response teams inspect the resolved IP address and hosting country of reported URLs.

Ad Placement Verification

When auditing digital ad campaigns, media buyers trace destination landing pages back to their physical hosting server locations.
