Generate random placeholder names for testing, mockups, and development. Access via MCP in Cursor or Windsurf, or call GET /v1/lorem/names directly. Returns culturally diverse names in JSON format — perfect for populating user tables, form examples, or demo data without using real identities.

print(data)Connect your AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to TinyFn's lorem ipsum tools:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tinyfn-lorem": {
"url": "https://tinyfn.io/mcp/lorem",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"

}Connect TinyFn's MCP server and call the generate_names tool. It returns JSON with random first and last names you can use in your code immediately.
Names are returned as JSON objects with separate first_name and last_name fields, making them easy to parse and use in databases or UI mockups.
Yes, the API accepts parameters to control quantity and name characteristics. Check the endpoint documentation for specific parameter options.
The tool generates names from various cultural backgrounds to create realistic, inclusive test data for international applications.
Generated names avoid potential privacy issues, provide variety for testing edge cases, and make demos look more realistic than repetitive placeholder text.
