Quokka Korea Tools (MCP)

Remote MCP server for South Korean data that language models tend to get wrong when they guess: public holidays and business days, won amounts in Korean words, business registration number check digits, 만 나이, and phone/address/name cleanup.

Endpoint: https://mcp.thequokkacompany.com/korea (Streamable HTTP, stateless). Free up to 200 calls a day, no account or key.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http korea-tools "https://mcp.thequokkacompany.com/korea?ref=github"

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) or VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json, key servers):

{ "mcpServers": { "korea-tools": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.thequokkacompany.com/korea?ref=github" } } }

?ref=github only tells us where you found the server. It works the same without it.

Official MCP Registry: com.thequokkacompany/korea-tools. HTTP API twin: POST /api/korea/<tool>, spec at /openapi.json. Agent docs: /llms.txt.

Usage counting and limits: src/usage.ts, D1 schema schema.sql.

Privacy

Tool arguments are not logged. To apply the daily limit the server keeps a per-day call count for each client, keyed by a salted hash of IP and user agent, plus the client name and version from initialize and the ref value if the URL has one.
