generate-data-mcp

Public MCP server for Generate-Data.com. Thin HTTP wrapper — no generation logic in this repo.

Monorepo sync: A copy of this package also lives in the main generate-data.com repo under generate-data-mcp/. This repository is the canonical published source.

  "mcpServers": {
    "generate-data": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "generate_data_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "GENERATE_DATA_API_KEY": "your-uuid-key-here",
        "GENERATE_DATA_API_BASE_URL": "https://api.generate-data.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

For local development against a running Django backend:

"GENERATE_DATA_API_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8000"

Run

export GENERATE_DATA_API_KEY=your-key
python -m generate_data_mcp.server

Verify

  1. export GENERATE_DATA_API_KEY=...

  2. Invoke get_api_usage from your MCP client — should return tier and call counts.

  3. Invoke list_field_types — should return category map.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Fix

GENERATE_DATA_API_KEY is required

Set env var before starting the server

HTTP 401

Invalid or deactivated key

HTTP 429 / rate_limit

Per-minute or daily cap hit; wait or upgrade tier

HTTP 403 / format_not_allowed

Free tier is CSV-only

Connection refused

Check GENERATE_DATA_API_BASE_URL

Tests

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest tests/ -v
