placeholder.com MCP server

Endpoint: https://mcp.placeholder.com/mcp · streamable HTTP, no auth, read-only.

Placeholder images, synthetic people with safe test-range identifiers, a mock REST API, a fictional company for agent evals and RAG tests, document fixtures with answer keys, dummy files and HTTP test endpoints. Everything is synthetic and deterministic.
