quickhelp.dev — 15 free developer tools, each with a UI, API, and MCP server

Every tool runs in your browser, exposes a REST API, and is wired into a single MCP server so AI agents and humans get first-class access without any sign-up.

Live: quickhelp.dev · API: quickhelp.dev/openapi.json · MCP: quickhelp.dev/mcp

Three interfaces, one domain

Human UI — browser-based, no sign-up, no upload to a server. Image tools use WebAssembly in your browser; text tools run client-side JS.

REST API — every tool is POST /api/<slug>, JSON in, JSON out. Free tier: 30 req/60s watermarked. OpenAPI 3.1 spec at /openapi.json.

MCP server — a single MCP endpoint covers all 15 tools. AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Continue, etc.) can discover and call any tool via the Model Context Protocol.

GET  https://quickhelp.dev/openapi.json    # OpenAPI 3.1 — all tools
GET  https://quickhelp.dev/llms.txt        # llms.txt discovery surface
GET  https://quickhelp.dev/llms-full.txt   # full per-tool docs for LLMs
POST https://quickhelp.dev/mcp             # MCP HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0)

Local development

pnpm install
pnpm dev          # web app at localhost:3000

Adding a new tool

pnpm create-tool <slug>
# Fill in packages/tools/<slug>/src/manifest.ts
# Tool auto-appears in UI, API, OpenAPI, llms.txt, and MCP — no extra wiring

Design principles

No auth, no database, no LLM calls — every tool is stateless and finishes in <5s.
Privacy-first — image processing runs in your browser via WebAssembly; nothing is uploaded.
Single-domain aggregation — one /openapi.json, one /mcp, one /llms.txt so agents resolve tool discovery in one request.
Free tier, always — anonymous use is free (watermarked output, 30 req/60s).
