Does anyone have any recommendations for a database or IPAM platform that can house IS-IS addressing? Can’t seem to find anything out there.
Thanks

My recommendation would be not to bother. 
Just encode the router loopback IPv4 address in the system identifier bytes and call it a day.

+1,
No need to worry, just use your loopback address as the SystemID.

i think asp wrote this up back in the early '90s. anyone have a cite?

I've always wondered about folks' opinions about one thing, though:
In y'all's opinion, do you prefer/recommend using base-10 digits or hex in your NSAP addresses? I like the former for readability, but the latter can (could) be better for automation. Maybe.
I got into a heated argument about this once with ATM back in the day, but my brain's to frazzled to remember the takeaways.

hex in your NSAP addresses?
it's the decimal representation of the octets
lo0 {
description "main loopback";
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 127.0.0.1/32;
address 192.168.254.10/32 {
primary;
}
}
family iso {
address 47.0001.1921.6825.4010.00;
}
}
}

Our atm network in san diego was the full base 16 hex for the 13 byte nsap prefix of all the atm switches in our 4-level PNNI cloud
This may be slightly off topic of ISIS practices though
But, yeah, we didn't encode any switch mgmt. ip into the nsap addressing as I recall... just the pnni peer groups had hex identities
