About JSONPlaceholder MCP Server

Connect to JSONPlaceholder, the industry-standard fake REST API, to simulate data interactions within your AI workflows. Perfect for developers testing MCP integrations or prototyping agentic behaviors without a real backend.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple JSONPlaceholder tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 21 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Post Management — Use list_posts, get_post, create_post, update_post, patch_post, and delete_post to test full CRUD lifecycles.
Social Interactions — Query comments via list_comments and get_comment to simulate discussion threads and linking.
Media Handling — Explore list_albums, get_album, list_photos, and get_photo to manage hierarchical media metadata.
Task Tracking — Use list_todos to verify state-based logic and completion status in your agents.
Data Filtering — Test precise data retrieval by filtering lists by userId, postId, or albumId directly through tool parameters.
