Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant look up recorded surnames with 2010 U.S. Census ranks, counts, and traceable sources.

What you can do
This remote MCP server provides surname lookup backed by 2010 U.S. Census data. An assistant can search recorded surnames and retrieve their census rank, occurrence counts, and traceable source references. It is a read-only reference tool for name research rather than a general web search.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to check how common a surname is in the United States or cite census-based name statistics. It fits genealogy, demographic, and naming research where a ranked, sourced figure is wanted.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at nameideahub.com over streamable HTTP; no packages, environment variables, or headers are declared. No authentication is declared, so an internet connection to the provider is the only apparent requirement.
Before you install
The server is hosted by a third party, so surname queries are sent to nameideahub.com. No credentials or secrets are requested, and no write, send, or delete actions are described. Figures reflect 2010 U.S. Census data and may be dated for current use.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Nameidea 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/io.github.iyuyoung%2Fnameideahub/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
