faq frequently asked
What does the Random Port Number Generator API do?+

Generate random network port numbers in standard or custom ranges. Use it to add this utility without rebuilding formulas, validation, examples, and documentation.

How much does one call to Random Port Number Generator cost?+

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

What parameters does the Random Port Number Generator API require?+

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

Is the Random Port Number Generator API deterministic?+

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

Can an AI agent call the Random Port Number Generator API?+

Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `random-port-number-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`.

mcp 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-port-number-generator) and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.

# List tools the agent can call
