Placeholder Text Skill

Overview

The API supports multiple text styles with customizable paragraph and sentence counts, making it perfect for mockups, prototypes, and content testing scenarios.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as PlaceholderTextSkill. 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.

Tool call

{
  "name": "PlaceholderTextSkill",
  "arguments": {}
}

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"
    }
  }
}

Per-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
`style`Optional	string	The style of placeholder text `loremtechhipstercorporatepiratefantasyscifi` default lorem
`paragraphs`Optional	integer	Number of paragraphs to generate default 3 · range 1–20
`sentences`Optional	integer	Number of sentences per paragraph default 5 · range 1–15

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.

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.

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.

Use cases

Website Mockups: Generate placeholder text for website mockups with various style options including lorem ipsum, tech, hipster, and more
Prototype Content: Create realistic dummy content for prototypes and design presentations with customizable paragraph and sentence counts
Industry Themes: Generate themed placeholder text for different industries like tech, corporate, or creative fields
Layout Testing: Test text rendering and layout systems with predictable placeholder content in various lengths and styles
