About Genderize MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to the Genderize.io database to automate gender estimation through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Genderize.io is a specialized API that provides statistical probabilities for the gender associated with any first name, backed by a database of over 114 million records. This MCP server enables you to estimate genders for single or multiple names, localized by country, directly through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Genderize tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
Key Features
- Gender Estimation — Predict whether a first name is associated with a male or female identity based on global data.
- Statistical Probability — Retrieve certainty scores (0.0 to 1.0) and the total data count used for each prediction.
- Country Localization — Localize results by providing ISO country codes (e.g., 'US', 'BR', 'GB') to improve accuracy for regional naming patterns.
- Batch Processing — Estimate genders for up to 10 names in a single request to process lead lists faster.
- Regional Helpers — Quickly check names for specific countries like the USA, Brazil, UK, Spain, and France using dedicated tools.
- No-Auth Free Tier — Start using the service immediately with up to 100 free requests per day without an API key.
- Scale with API Keys — Optionally provide an API key to access higher rate limits for large-scale data enrichment.
The Genderize MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
