A+

Access fake online REST API for testing and prototyping — manage posts, comments, albums, photos, and todos directly from your AI agent.

21 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

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, 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.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. No real API key is required for this public service, but you can provide a placeholder string if prompted
  3. 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

List all posts for user 1.

I've retrieved the posts for user 1. There are 10 posts available, including titles like 'sunt aut facere...' and 'qui est esse'. Would you like to see the full body of any specific post?

Get the details for comment ID 5.

Inspecting comment 5... It was posted by 'Hayden@althea.biz' with the body: 'harum non quasi et ratione...'. It is linked to post ID 1.

Create a new post for user 10 with title 'MCP Test' and body 'Testing JSONPlaceholder'.

Simulating post creation... Success! A new post has been 'created' with ID 101 for user 10. Title: 'MCP Test'. Note: Since this is a mock API, the data isn't permanently stored.

Yes! Use the `list_posts` tool with the `userId` parameter to retrieve only the posts created by that specific user ID.
