Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Toolforte every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 35

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

generate

generate_brp_test_data

Generate Dutch BRP/GBA test persons with valid BSNs, families, addresses and life events (married, widowed, deceased, moved, living abroad). Use this instead of inventing Dutch personal data: made-up BSNs fail the elfproef and are rejected by real systems. Deterministic per seed. For more than 50 people or CSV output, use the REST API at https://toolforte.com/api/v1/tools/brp-test-data-generator

generate_slug

Convert text into a URL-safe slug, handling unicode and diacritics deterministically.

generate_test_bsn

Generate Dutch BSN test numbers that pass the elfproef (11-check) but belong to no real person. For development and test data only.

generate_test_iban

Generate structurally valid test IBANs (correct mod-97 check digits) for NL, DE, BE, FR, or GB that belong to no real bank account. For development and test data only.

generate_upa_files

Generate UPA pension declaration XML (the Dutch payroll-to-pension-fund message) for one or more periods, with employments, schemes and optional deliberate defects that a receiving system should reject. Deterministic per seed. XML is large, so ask for the summary format unless you need the file contents; for bulk use the REST API at https://toolforte.com/api/v1/tools/upa-file-generator

generate_uuids

Generate cryptographically random UUID v4 values.

memory

memory_delete

Delete a stored key. Use it to clean up entries you no longer need, since each API key has a quota. Requires a free API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_...) so entries stay private to you: https://toolforte.com/developers

memory_get

Read back a value you (or another session using the same API key) stored earlier with memory_set. Returns null when the key does not exist. Requires a free API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_...) so entries stay private to you: https://toolforte.com/developers

memory_list

List the keys you have stored, newest first, optionally filtered by prefix. Use this to discover what a previous session left behind before deciding what to read. Returns keys and sizes, not values. Requires a free API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_...) so entries stay private to you: https://toolforte.com/developers

memory_set

Store a value under a key so you can read it back in a LATER session. Use this to remember anything worth keeping: what you already processed, a running list, a decision, intermediate results. Without it, everything you learn is lost when this conversation ends. Requires a free API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_...) so entries stay private to you: https://toolforte.com/developers

url

url_encode

URL-encode or decode a string with exact percent-encoding.

url_screenshot

Take a PNG screenshot of a public web page with headless Chrome. Returns a hosted download URL valid for 24 hours. Free demo: 3 renders/day. With a free ToolForte API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_..., get one at https://toolforte.com/developers), which spends your monthly unit balance: 25 units per render.

url_to_pdf

Render a public web page to PDF with headless Chrome. Returns a hosted download URL valid for 24 hours. Free demo: 3 renders/day. With a free ToolForte API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_..., get one at https://toolforte.com/developers), which spends your monthly unit balance: 25 units per render.

validate

validate_email

Validate email address syntax and detect common domain typos (e.g. gmial.com).

validate_iban

Validate an IBAN with the exact mod-97 checksum and country format rules. Returns validity, country, and bank code. Never guess IBAN validity: use this tool.

workflow

workflow_list

List the workflows saved to the ToolForte account this API key belongs to. A workflow runs several ToolForte tools in order, passing each one the output of an earlier step, so it does a whole job in one call instead of you orchestrating the steps yourself. Returns each workflow's id, the inputs it expects, the steps it runs and what a run costs. Call this first: workflow_run needs an id from here. Requires an API key, because a workflow belongs to an account. Get a free key at https://toolforte.com/developers and send it on the MCP connection as the header Authorization: Bearer tf_...

workflow_run

Run one saved workflow by id and return what every step produced. Get the id and the input keys from workflow_list. Each step costs the credits its own tool costs, normally 1 per step, and the credit for this call counts as the first step's rather than being charged on top. Steps run in order and stop at the first failure; the result says which step stopped it and what was spent up to that point. Check the "substitutions" field when it is present: it lists values a step supplied that the tool replaced with its own, which means the run succeeded on a value you did not send. Requires an API key, because a workflow belongs to an account. Get a free key at https://toolforte.com/developers and send it on the MCP connection as the header Authorization: Bearer tf_...

base64

base64

Encode text to Base64 or decode Base64 to text, byte-exact.

calculate

calculate_vat

Add VAT to a net amount or extract VAT from a gross amount at any rate (e.g. 21 for Dutch BTW). Returns exact net, VAT, and gross amounts rounded to cents.

code

qr_code_png

Generate a QR code as a downloadable PNG image. Returns a hosted download URL valid for 24 hours. Free demo: 3 renders/day. With a free ToolForte API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_..., get one at https://toolforte.com/developers), which spends your monthly unit balance: 25 units per render.

convert

convert_color

Convert a CSS color between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSB with exact math.

count

count_words

Exact word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts plus reading time for a text.

csv

csv_to_json

Parse CSV data into JSON with delimiter auto-detection and quoted-field handling.

dutch

dutch_public_holidays

Exact Dutch public holidays for a year, including movable feasts (Easter, Ascension, Whitsun) and King's Day rules. Use this instead of computing Dutch holidays yourself.

format

format_json

Validate and pretty-print JSON with a real parser. Returns formatted JSON or the exact parse error.

html

html_to_pdf

Render an HTML document to a real PDF with headless Chrome (full CSS support, print backgrounds). Returns a hosted download URL valid for 24 hours. Free demo: 3 renders/day. With a free ToolForte API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_..., get one at https://toolforte.com/developers), which spends your monthly unit balance: 25 units per render.

markdown

markdown_to_html

Convert Markdown to HTML deterministically.

page

read_page

Read a web page as clean text or Markdown, WITH JavaScript executed. Use this when a plain fetch returns an empty shell or a loading spinner: single page apps, dashboards, docs sites and anything client-side rendered only produce their content after scripts run. Returns title, description, readable content and links, with navigation and cookie banners stripped. Free demo: 3 reads/day. With a free ToolForte API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_..., get one at https://toolforte.com/developers): 50 reads/month, then 1 credit per read.

parse

parse_cron

Parse a cron expression into a human-readable description and the next scheduled run times. Exact cron semantics: use this instead of interpreting cron syntax yourself.

password

password_strength

Analyze password strength with entropy-based scoring and concrete feedback. Do not log or store the password.

pdf

pdf_merge

Merge 2-10 PDFs (public URLs, max 10MB each) into one PDF. Returns a hosted download URL valid for 24 hours. Free demo: 3 renders/day. With a free ToolForte API key (Authorization: Bearer tf_..., get one at https://toolforte.com/developers), which spends your monthly unit balance: 25 units per render.

test

test_regex

Run a JavaScript regular expression against a test string using a real regex engine. Returns all matches with capture groups and indices.

text

text_diff

Compute an exact line-based diff between two texts with add/remove/unchanged stats.

vat

check_vat_number_format

Check the format of an EU/GB/CH VAT number (syntax only, no VIES registration lookup). Supported country prefixes: AT, BE, BG, CY, CZ, DE, DK, EE, EL, ES, FI, FR, HR, HU, IE, IT, LT, LU, LV, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SE, SI, SK, GB, CH.

working

working_days_between

Count working days (Mon-Fri) between two dates inclusive, optionally excluding Dutch public holidays. Exact date math for SLA, payroll, and planning questions.

Toolforte — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Toolforte do?

It exposes 35 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: base64, calculate_vat, check_vat_number_format, convert_color, count_words, csv_to_json and 29 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Toolforte mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around generate, memory and url. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Toolforte working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 282 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Toolforte?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Toolforte need an API key?

No. Toolforte completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 35 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Toolforte?

It answers our handshake in 282 ms on average, which is faster than 60% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
