Japan Utils Mcp
Japan-specific utilities for AI agents — era ↔ Western year conversion, kanji-to-romaji, postal code lookup, holidays, kana conversion, name splitting. 9 tools, MIT, install via uvx.
Overview
MCP server exposing Japan-specific utilities to AI agents. Hand any Claude/Cursor/Cline agent the small bag of JP functions every Japan-related task needs but generic LLMs hallucinate on.
Why this exists
Generic LLMs are unreliable on JP-specific data:
- "What year is 令和8年?" — often wrong
- "Convert 山田太郎 to romaji" — gets the surname wrong half the time
- "What's the address for postal code 150-0001?" — fabricates plausible-looking nonsense
- "Is May 3rd a Japanese holiday?" — guesses
This MCP gives them deterministic answers backed by well-maintained Python libraries (jpholiday, posuto, pykakasi, jaconv, namedivider-python).
