Globalping for AI agents
Globalping runs network tests like ping, traceroute, and DNS resolution from thousands of probes worldwide. Network and site-reliability engineers use it to diagnose connectivity from real-world vantage points. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
What agents do in Globalping.
Run a ping test from a region
Trigger a ping measurement against a domain from probes in a specific country to check reachability.
Check measurement results
Pull the results of a previously submitted traceroute to diagnose a routing issue.
List available probe locations
List the probe network's current locations before choosing where to run a diagnostic test.
5 Globalping actions, graded by risk.
Every Globalping action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.
read
3Look things up. Allowed by default.

- globalping.list_probesList Probes
- globalping.get_measurementGet Measurement Results
write
2Create and change things. Allow, or ask the user first.

- globalping.health_checkGlobalPing Health Check
destructive
0Delete, cancel or archive. Ask first, or deny outright.
- No destructive actions.
Globalping in three steps.
- 01Your users connect GlobalpingThey add their Globalping api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “create Measurement” can wait for the user to approve.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Globalping through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('globalping', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_measurement destructive: 'deny', }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Globalping connects.
Users add their Globalping api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same Globalping connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use Globalping from any agent.

Globalping and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Globalping with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Globalping to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Globalping actions you allow.
How do users connect Globalping?
Users add their Globalping api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
Which Globalping actions can my agent take?
5 in total: 3 read, 2 write and 0 destructive, such as “create Measurement”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Globalping?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Globalping policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Globalping too?
Yes. The same Globalping connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Globalping into your agent.
Your users connect Globalping once, under your brand. Your agent gets 5 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
