What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server through the Vinkius Marketplace
- Optional: Enter your Genderize API Key (for higher limits)
- Start predicting genders from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts & Marketers — quickly enrich lead lists or CRM data with gender estimations for personalized outreach.
- Growth Engineers — automate the localization of user profiles based on naming probabilities via simple AI commands.
- Developers — verify naming patterns and statistical distributions without manual API testing.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key required for Genderize.io?
No, you can use the service for free without an API key for up to 100 requests per day. For higher volume, you can obtain a key from genderize.io.
How accurate is the gender prediction?
The API returns a 'probability' score between 0.0 and 1.0. A score of 0.99 means the API is 99% certain of the associated gender based on its database.
Can I localise the results for a specific country?
Yes! Use the 'countryId' parameter with an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g., 'BR' for Brazil) to get results optimized for that specific region.
How many names can I check at once?
The 'estimate_genders_bulk' tool allows you to check up to 10 names in a single API request, which is efficient for processing small lists.
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.
