Overview

AI-generated overview

ReqRes is a remote MCP server that lets an assistant create a hosted REST backend with persistent collections and records, without signup.

What you can do
Create a hosted project with a REST API, database, manage key, read-only public key and starter products collection in one call, with no account or API key needed. List the collections in a project and create new collections, each with its own REST endpoint. Read paginated records from a collection, save new JSON records, replace a record's fields, and delete records.
When to use it
Useful when a user needs a live API and persistent storage for a prototype, app or frontend without setting up a database or signing up for a service. Also suited to quickly standing up collections for things like tasks, users or orders.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime, account, API key, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access is required, and the assistant needs the manage key returned when a project is created to work with that project.
Before you install
Creating a project provisions a real hosted backend and returns a manage key that grants control over it; treat that key as a secret. Records written, updated or deleted persist in the hosted database, and free projects are limited to 3 collections. Data is stored on a third-party service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ReqRes in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/in.reqres%2Freqres/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

create_project

Create a ReqRes project

Create a real hosted backend (a REST API with a persistent database) in one call, with no account or API key. Use it when the user needs to store data, persist an app or prototype, or give a frontend a live API. Returns a manage key, a read-only public key, a starter "products" collection, the base URL and a claim_url. Show the user the claim_url: signing in through it keeps the project; otherwise it is deleted after 72 hours. Free limits: 250 requests a day, 3 collections, 100 records.
