MCP support
UK PostcodeKit provides a Streamable HTTP MCP server that exposes its API endpoints as tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEDeveloper utility APIs + remote MCP servers
Thirteen small, focused REST APIs for everyday developer jobs: validating emails, phones and IBANs, IP geolocation, PDFs, images, QR codes, fraud scoring, token counting and more. Each one is its own product on RapidAPI with a free plan, full OpenAPI docs, and a built-in remote MCP server so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, LangChain) can call it as tools.
- Free tier on every API: subscribe on RapidAPI, copy your key, call it.
- MCP built in: every API exposes Streamable HTTP MCP at
https://<host>.p.rapidapi.com/mcp, and each is listed in the official MCP Registry asio.github.OlsOls4/<kit>. - No heavy dependencies on your side: plain HTTPS + JSON from any language or no-code tool.

Quickstart (REST)
curl -G "https://calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com/business-days/add" \
-d date=2026-12-23 -d days=5 -d country=GB -d subdiv=ENG \
-H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY" \
-H "X-RapidAPI-Host: calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com"
Swap the host for any API in the table. Every request goes through RapidAPI with X-RapidAPI-Key and X-RapidAPI-Host.
Quickstart (MCP)
Add any API as a remote MCP server in a client that supports Streamable HTTP with custom headers, for example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"calkit": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
"X-RapidAPI-Host": "calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com"
}
}
}
}
The server answers tools/list with that API's endpoints as tools.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
