What your AI can do with PostData
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “new_device_name”: Get an unused device name (like amber-otter-4821) with its ingest, read, live-stream and chart URLs. Names are public and first come, first.”
“Use “publish_reading”: Store one reading for a device, exactly as POST /add/{device} would. Useful for testing a dashboard or integration before hardware exists, o.”
“Use “get_latest”: The most recent reading from a device, when it arrived (unix seconds) and how long ago, plus its chart URL. Device names, metric names and m.”
“Use “get_history”: Numeric history for a device over the last N hours (up to 2208, ~92 days): min/max/mean/first/last per metric, and a downsampled series wher.”
How secure is the PostData MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how PostData holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by PostData (postdata.cloud) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If PostData adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick PostData
Choose PostData in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Use it anywhere
PostData's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

The actual tools PostData exposes
Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.
new_device_name — Get an unused device name (like amber-otter-4821) with its ingest, read, live-stream and chart URLs. Names are public and first come, first
publish_reading — Store one reading for a device, exactly as POST /add/{device} would. Useful for testing a dashboard or integration before hardware exists, o
get_latest — The most recent reading from a device, when it arrived (unix seconds) and how long ago, plus its chart URL. Device names, metric names and m
get_history — Numeric history for a device over the last N hours (up to 2208, ~92 days): min/max/mean/first/last per metric, and a downsampled series wher
wait_for_reading — Wait until a device sends a new reading, then return it. "New" means after the moment of this call, or after the unix time in "after" if giv
list_recent_devices — The 20 most recently active public devices with their latest readings. Handy for examples of real payloads. Device names, metric names and m
Who runs the PostData MCP server?
The PostData MCP server at a glance
https://api.postdata.cloud/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official PostData MCP server?
Yes — PostData operates its own remote MCP server at api.postdata.cloud. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect PostData to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick PostData in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, PostData's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. PostData runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the PostData MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect PostData in minutes. No credit card required.
Connect more than just PostData
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
