Wraps the JSONPlaceholder fake REST API for testing and prototyping without needing real backend services. You get access to mock endpoints for posts, comments, albums, photos, todos, and users. Useful when you're building demos, testing AI workflows against REST patterns, or need placeholder data that behaves like a real API without authentication overhead. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either use this standalone or connect to their full collection of 673+ data sources. Includes an ask_pipeworx tool that lets you query in plain English instead of calling specific endpoints directly. Free to use, no auth required, runs over streamable HTTP.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"jsonplaceholder": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/jsonplaceholder/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Jsonplaceholder data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
