What is the Faker Data Generator MCP Server?
Your agent is building a demo environment. It needs 50 user profiles with realistic names, valid-looking emails, and Brazilian addresses. If you let the AI generate them, you'll get 50 variations of 'John Doe' with emails at 'example.com'.
This MCP uses @faker-js/faker (5M+ weekly downloads) to generate contextually rich, locale-aware test data across 10 categories. Brazilian names for pt_BR, Japanese addresses for ja, German companies for de.
The Superpowers
- 10 Categories: person, internet, company, address, finance, commerce, lorem, date, image, phone.
- 60+ Locales: Real Brazilian CPF-style names, Japanese kanji, French addresses — not just English translated.
- Batch Generation: Up to 50 records per request for database seeding.
- Cryptographic Quality: Uses secure randomness — each call produces unique, non-repeating data.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Categories: person, internet, company, address, finance, commerce, lorem, date, image, phone. Each category returns multiple related fields. Set count (max 50) for batch generation. Locale changes names/addresses to match the target country (e.g. "pt_BR" for Brazilian names). Generates realistic fake data: names, emails, addresses, companies, products, finances, lorem ipsum, dates, and more. Supports 60+ locales
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Faker Data Generator data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate data with Brazilian names and addresses?
Yes. Set locale to 'pt_BR' for Brazilian first/last names, street names, cities, states, and phone formats. Works the same for 60+ other locales.
How many records can I generate at once?
Up to 50 per request. Each contains multiple related fields (e.g. person returns firstName, lastName, fullName, gender, jobTitle, and bio).
Is the data different every time I call it?
Yes. Each call generates completely fresh, unique data using cryptographic randomness. No two calls produce the same result.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
