TL;DR:BugiaData MCP is live. Point Cursor, Claude, or Windsurf at a hosted SSE server, paste one config block, and ask your agent for relational fake data with valid foreign keys—no custom REST glue in your repo.

If you build with AI agents, you already know the loop:

The Model Context Protocol was supposed to fix the integration tax. In practice, a lot of “MCP-ready” products still feel like REST APIs wearing a badge—same docs maze, same “here’s your API key, good luck.”

I built [BugiaData](https://bugiadata.com) to skip that layer for one job: **generating fake data that actually behaves like a database**—locales, multiple tables, foreign keys intact—directly from the chat in your editor.

BugiaData now exposes a **hosted remote MCP server** (SSE) with four tools:

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
`ping` |
Health check + tier hint |
`whoami` |
Quota and account info for your API key |
`generate_data` |
Single Faker-type batch (names, emails, etc.) |
`generate_relational_data` |
Multi-table JSON with `foreign_key` columns wired correctly |

Same API key and monthly quota as the REST API and Studio. Free tier: **10,000 tokens/month**.

Works today in **Cursor**, **Claude Desktop**, **Claude Code**, and **Windsurf**.

**REST is fine for humans.** For agents, every endpoint is another chance to hallucinate paths, forget headers, or invent query params.

With MCP:

BugiaData’s differentiator isn’t “fake data exists.” It’s **relational consistency**: users and orders where `orders.user_id`

actually references `users.id`

, in `pl_PL`

or `pt_BR`

if you ask for it.

Flat Faker lists are easy. Graph-shaped test data is where projects stall. That’s the wedge.

Open **Dashboard → MCP** and copy your key: [bugiadata.com/dashboard?tab=mcp](https://bugiadata.com/dashboard?tab=mcp)

**Cursor** — `.cursor/mcp.json`

(project or global):

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bugiadata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.bugiadata.com/sse",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Windsurf** — same `mcpServers`

block in your client config (`claude_desktop_config.json`

, `~/.claude/mcp.json`

, or Windsurf MCP config).

Restart the client after saving.

Try something concrete:

Using BugiaData, generate 20 users and their orders. Orders must reference users.id. Use locale pt_BR.

Or a single-type batch:

Generate 10 company names and emails with locale en_US via BugiaData.

The agent should call `generate_relational_data`

or `generate_data`

and return JSON in chat—no shell scripts, no hand-rolled fetch.

The MCP landing page includes a **live demo** (rate-limited `ping`

/ sample generation) so you can watch JSON come back before creating an account:

Drop a comment or open an issue on the docs repo. I’m especially interested in real agent prompts that broke—or surprised you—in a good way.
