What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loremfile": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "loremfile",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add loremfile -- npx -y loremfile mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loremfile": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "loremfile",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "loremfile": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "loremfile",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is loremfile safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 30 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, Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

loremfile

Free, CC0, hotlink-friendly sample files for every file type. Lorem Picsum, but for PDFs, images, audio, video, office documents, data files, archives, fonts, text encodings, raw byte blobs and deliberately malformed edge cases.

https://loremfile.dev/pdf/a4-3pages.pdf

https://loremfile.dev/bin/10mb.bin https://loremfile.dev/mp4/720p-5s.mp4 https://loremfile.dev/edge/jpg-truncated-50pct.jpg

No ads, no accounts, no rate-limit surprises, no attribution required. Open CORS, byte-range support, one-year immutable caching, and a machine-readable manifest.json with SHA-256 hashes for every file.

228 files across 78 formats plus the edge/ set are live, at catalog version 1.2.0. The specification lives in docs/.

Canonical host

The canonical host is `https://loremfile.dev`.

This README is the out-of-band pointer: if loremfile.dev is ever unavailable or moves, the current canonical host is stated here first. Do not rely on any other mirror.

What you can rely on

The bytes at a published path do not change. Hash, byte count and MIME type stay as they are; a fix is a new path, and the old entry records supersededBy. A file may be withdrawn for legal reasons, and the manifest then keeps a tombstone for it. There is no promise of availability; see the terms.
Hotlinking is welcome. That is what this is for. Please keep automated traffic under 30 requests per second per client (the edge rate-limits at 300 requests / 10 s per IP).
No tracking cookies, no analytics scripts, no accounts.

For agents and CI

/llms.txt: what this service is, in one file.
/manifest.json: every fixture with path, bytes, sha256, MIME type, tags and format-specific properties.
/sha256sums.txt: verify downloads with sha256sum -c.
/{format}/index.json: one format at a time.

GitHub Action

Pull fixtures into a workflow and check each one against its sha256 in the manifest:

- uses: kumarprabhashanand/loremfile/action@action-v1

with: paths: pdf/minimal.pdf mp4/720p-5s.mp4 formats: svg

It writes to loremfile-fixtures/ and outputs dir and count. A file whose bytes do not match the manifest fails the step and names the file. catalog-version: "1.2.0" refuses to run if loremfile.dev has moved on.

The action is shell only and talks to nothing but loremfile.dev. It downloads one file at a time with a pause between them and backs off on a 429, because the published rate limit applies to it like any other client. Linux and macOS runners only: it needs sha256sum or shasum, and Windows is not supported rather than half-supported.

action-v1 is a major tag that moves as the action changes; it is deliberately not a v* release tag, because those name a catalog version and are frozen once pushed. Pinning a commit SHA works too and is the strictest option.

Command-line clients

loremfile on PyPI (Python 3.11 or newer) and loremfile on npm take named files or a whole format, and write a file only after checking it against its sha256:

npx loremfile get --format pdf

loremfile get pdf/minimal.pdf mp4/720p-5s.mp4 # after pip install loremfile

Neither has a dependency. The Python package declares dependencies = [] and uses only the standard library; the npm package's package.json lists no dependencies and uses only Node's built-ins. Installing either installs that one package.

MCP server

Both packages also run a Model Context Protocol server over stdio, with three read-only tools: list_fixtures, describe_fixture and verify_file. With Node:

{ "mcpServers": { "loremfile": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "loremfile", "mcp"] } } }

With Python, without an install:

{ "mcpServers": { "loremfile": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["loremfile", "mcp"] } } }

It is listed in the MCP Registry as io.github.kumarprabhashanand/loremfile, and loremfile.dev/docs/mcp describes the tools.
