The tool
Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as BabyNameGeneratorSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.
{
"name": "BabyNameGeneratorSkill",
"arguments": {
"gender": "male"
}
}You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about male in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for BabyNameGeneratorSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.
Connecting
One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vervekit": {
"url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcpPer-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.
Arguments
These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
genderRequired | string | The gender for the generated namesmalefemale |
countOptionalPremium | integer | The number of names to generate default 1 · range 1–100 |
includeAvatarOptionalPremium | boolean | Include an AI-generated child face avatar matching gender |
What the model gets back
The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.
{
"status": "ok",
"error": null,
"data": {
"count": 1,
"names": [
{
"firstName": "Myra",
"middleName": "Sherri",
"fullName": "Myra Sherri",
"avatar": "https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIResources/faces/Female/Child/11223344.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=..."
}
]
}
}
Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
count | number | 1 | Total number of baby names generated in response |
names | array[1] | Array of generated baby name objects with naming data | |
names.0.firstName | string | Myra | Generated first name for the baby |
names.0.middleName | string | Sherri | Generated middle name for the baby |
names.0.fullNamePremium | string | Myra Sherri | Complete name combining first and middle names |
names.0.avatarPremium | string | https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIResources/faces/Female/Child/11223344.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=... | URL to AI-generated child face avatar |
Failure modes
Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
400 / 422 | The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one. |
401 | The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server. |
403 | Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity. |
404 | This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog. |
429 | Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart. |
A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
