Summary generated from the project's README
About UK PostcodeKit MCP server
UK PostcodeKit provides specialized tools for handling United Kingdom location data. It allows users to perform postcode lookups, find the nearest postcodes to a specific location, and utilize autocomplete features for address entry. The service also calculates distances between points using OS open data.
This remote MCP server is designed for AI agents and developers using clients like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, or LangChain. It operates via Streamable HTTP, meaning it requires no heavy local dependencies. To use the server, you must subscribe to the service on RapidAPI and provide your API key and host through custom headers in your client configuration.
By utilizing OS Code-Point Open data, the server offers precise geographic utility. It is part of a suite of developer APIs that expose their functionality as tools through a standardized MCP endpoint, making it easy to integrate location intelligence into automated workflows.
What you can do with it
- 1Validate UK addressesAn AI agent can verify if a provided UK postcode is valid and accurate.
- 2Find nearby locationsA developer can request a list of postcodes that are geographically close to a target area.
- 3Calculate travel distancesYou can ask an AI to determine the distance between two specific UK locations.
- 4Improve address inputImplement an autocomplete feature to help users find postcodes more quickly.

View on GitHubDeveloper utility APIs + remote MCP servers
Thirteen small, focused REST APIs for everyday developer jobs: validating emails, phones and IBANs, IP geolocation, PDFs, images, QR codes, fraud scoring, token counting and more. Each one is its own product on RapidAPI with a free plan, full OpenAPI docs, and a built-in remote MCP server so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, LangChain) can call it as tools.
- Free tier on every API: subscribe on RapidAPI, copy your key, call it.
- MCP built in: every API exposes Streamable HTTP MCP at
https://<host>.p.rapidapi.com/mcp, and each is listed in the official MCP Registry asio.github.OlsOls4/<kit>. - No heavy dependencies on your side: plain HTTPS + JSON from any language or no-code tool.

Quickstart (REST)
curl -G "https://calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com/business-days/add" \
-d date=2026-12-23 -d days=5 -d country=GB -d subdiv=ENG \
-H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY" \
-H "X-RapidAPI-Host: calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com"
Swap the host for any API in the table. Every request goes through RapidAPI with X-RapidAPI-Key and X-RapidAPI-Host.
Quickstart (MCP)
Add any API as a remote MCP server in a client that supports Streamable HTTP with custom headers, for example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"calkit": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
"X-RapidAPI-Host": "calkit-public-holidays-business-days-timezones.p.rapidapi.com"
}
}
}
}
The server answers tools/list with that API's endpoints as tools.
