Connect Baidu Comate to the IPMusk MCP Server

Who this is for

Developers who use Baidu Comate (文心快码) and want its agent to fetch proxy URLs and account details.

What you need

An IPMusk account with a verified email address.
An IPMusk API key. Create it in Settings → API keys (/app/settings/api-keys). For typical use tick read and connect. Add support only if the assistant should open tickets, and order only if it should create orders that end in a payment link.
This client takes the key itself rather than reading the IPMUSK_API_KEY environment variable the other guides use. Keep the original in a password manager.
Comate installed, in a version with MCP support.
IPMusk applies the same source-country rules to the API and MCP as to the website, so connect from a region where ipmusk.com is available.

Set it up

Add the server to ~/.comate/mcp.json for all projects, or to .comate/mcp.json in your workspace.

Replace ipm_live_YOUR_KEY with your key. If you use the workspace file, add .comate/mcp.json to .gitignore.
Parts of Comate's manual write transportType instead of type. Try type first; if the server does not start, rename it to transportType.
If you also set requestInit.headers, Comate merges both header lists. Spell Authorization the same way in both, or keep only one.

~/.comate/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ipmusk": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://ipmusk.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ipm_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Check it works

Open Comate's MCP settings, or reload the window. ipmusk should be listed with its tools.

Ask the assistant: Which IPMusk account am I connected as? It should call get_account and answer with your email address.

Try these prompts

How much IPMusk residential traffic do I have left?
Get a sticky US proxy URL for 10 minutes and use it in this script.
List my IPMusk Static ISP proxies and when they expire.

If it fails

401 authentication_required: the key in the file is wrong, revoked or expired. Paste it again without extra spaces.
The server does not start: check the JSON is valid, then try transportType in place of type.
401 although the key is right: two Authorization headers with different casing were merged. Keep one.
403 forbidden on one tool: the key lacks that tool's scope, or your email is not verified. Scopes cannot be added to a key, so create a new key with the scope and swap it in.
429 rate_limited: too many calls in one minute (read 60, connect 20, support 30, order 10). Wait a minute and try again.

Remove access

Revoke the key in Settings → API keys (/app/settings/api-keys). It stops working at once.
Then delete the ipmusk entry from mcp.json.
