Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http uk-postcodekit 'https://uk-postcodekit-postcode-lookup-nearest-distance.p.rapidapi.com/mcp' --header 'X-RapidAPI-Key: <Your RapidAPI key (subscribe to UK PostcodeKit on RapidAPI; free plan available)>' --header 'X-RapidAPI-Host: <RapidAPI host for this API>'

Developer 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.
