Frequently asked

What does the Random Color Generator API do?

Generate random HEX, RGB, and HSL colors with optional harmony rules. Use it when you need exact JSON instead of asking an LLM to recreate well-defined utility logic.

How much does one call to Random Color Generator cost?

1 credit per successful call. Failed calls (validation errors, 5xx) don't bill.

What parameters does the Random Color Generator API require?

Required fields: (none). Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.

Is the Random Color Generator API deterministic?

This tool's output may vary (e.g. random generation). Version: 2026-04-22.

Can an AI agent call the Random Color Generator API?

Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `random-color-generator` with its JSON Schema automatically, so the model can plan while MiniWebtool handles the exact tool result.

What format does the API return?

JSON with a stable envelope: `{request_id, tool, tool_version, credits_used, result}`. Errors are RFC 7807 `application/problem+json`.

Use from an AI agent

Every endpoint on this site is also exposed via the Model Context Protocol at https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent can discover this tool (random-color-generator) and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.

# List tools the agent can call
curl -s https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' \
