Common questions

Is Random Profiles MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: RANDOM_PROFILES_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 44 days ago, and the latest version (1.4.4) reached the registry 44 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

random-profiles-mcp

MCP server for the Random Profiles API — generate fake user profiles and companies directly from AI agents like Claude.

Setup — zero config

Just install the MCP server and talk to it. The first time you ask for profiles, the agent will prompt you for an email once, claim a free key on your behalf, cache it locally, and use it for every future request. The key is also emailed to you as a receipt.

Add to your Claude Code MCP config (.mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "random-profiles": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "random-profiles-mcp"] } } }

Restart Claude Code and ask _"give me 5 random user profiles"_ — the agent will handle the key handshake automatically. No browser, no copy-paste.

The key is cached at ~/.random-profiles/config.json (mode 0600) so you only do this once per machine.

Prefer to bring your own key?

If you already have an API key (or want to use a specific one), set it via env var and skip the claim flow entirely:

"mcpServers": { "random-profiles": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "random-profiles-mcp"], "env": { "RANDOM_PROFILES_API_KEY": "rp_your_key_here" } } } }

The env var takes precedence over the cached key.

Tools

Tool	Description
`claim_api_key`	Claim a free API key using an email address (response returns the key; the agent also emails a copy as a receipt). Only used on first run when no key is configured — cached afterward.
`get_profiles`	Get random user profiles with filters (count, gender, country, age range, fields)
`get_profile`	Get a single profile by UUID
`get_companies`	Get random fake companies with filters (count, industry, country, size, fields)
`get_company`	Get a single company by UUID
`get_random_image`	Get a random profile photo (JPEG, optional size)
`get_image`	Get a specific profile photo by UUID (JPEG, optional size)
`get_usage`	Check your API key usage, tier, and daily limits (includes a buy-me-a-coffee `support_url` for unlimited access)

Field Groups

Profiles: name, email, phone, identity, bio, social, physical, job, address, financial, network, documents, vehicle, contact, digital, interests, education, photo, relationships, meta

Companies: name, industry, size, location, contact, social, financial, tech, leadership, legal, operations, product, relationships, meta

The relationships group returns cross-resource UUIDs: profiles have company_uuid + colleague_uuids, companies have employee_uuids. Chain tools together to hydrate the graph (e.g. "give me 5 companies, then their employees").

Image formats

Both get_profiles and get_companies accept an optional photo_format / logo_format argument (jpg or webp). WebP is ~30% smaller than JPG with equivalent perceived quality and is supported by 96%+ of browsers. Default stays jpg for maximum compatibility.

Examples

Profiles

"Give me 5 random US profiles"

"Generate 10 female profiles between ages 25-35 from Germany"

"Get me profiles with only name and email fields"

"Show me a random profile photo"

Companies

"Give me 5 fake Technology companies from the US"

"Generate 10 Healthcare companies with 51-200 employees"

"Get 20 companies with only name, industry, and leadership fields"

"Give me 3 Finance companies from the UK with a fixed seed of 42"

"Give me 10 companies with 128px logos (for an icon grid)"

The logo_size argument on get_companies/get_company picks the size variant in meta.logo_url — same pattern as photo_size on profiles. Valid values: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 (default).
