What you can do with JSONPlaceholder
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

JSONPlaceholder API rate limits
Free public API with no strict rate limits
These are the limits JSONPlaceholder documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the JSONPlaceholder documentation for current values.
Use JSONPlaceholder from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect JSONPlaceholder in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its JSONPlaceholder operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {
"livecontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
