What is the 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.
What you can do
- Post Management — Use
list_posts,get_post,create_post,update_post,patch_post, anddelete_postto test full CRUD lifecycles. - Social Interactions — Query comments via
list_commentsandget_commentto simulate discussion threads and linking. - Media Handling — Explore
list_albums,get_album,list_photos, andget_phototo manage hierarchical media metadata. - Task Tracking — Use
list_todosto verify state-based logic and completion status in your agents. - Data Filtering — Test precise data retrieval by filtering lists by
userId,postId, oralbumIddirectly through tool parameters.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- No real API key is required for this public service, but you can provide a placeholder string if prompted
- Start prototyping your data-driven agents immediately
Who is this for?
- MCP Developers — verify that your client correctly handles tool calls, pagination, and JSON responses
- AI Researchers — prototype complex agent behaviors that require structured data interaction without setting up a database
- Product Designers — demonstrate AI-driven workflows using realistic (but safe) mock data

Frequently asked questions
Can I filter posts by a specific user?
Yes! Use the list_posts tool with the userId parameter to retrieve only the posts created by that specific user ID.
Does creating or updating a post actually save the data?
No. JSONPlaceholder is a fake API. Tools like create_post, update_post, and delete_post simulate the response as if the action succeeded, but the server state remains unchanged.
How do I find comments for a specific post?
Use the list_comments tool and provide the postId. This will return all comments associated with that specific post ID.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
