Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http pipeworx 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pipeworx-catalog/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"type": "http",

Pipeworx
Live data for AI agents. One MCP connection gives your AI access to 1,100+ data sources and 4,600+ tools — SEC filings, FDA adverse events, trade flows, mortgage rates, clinical trials, government contracts, and more.
Pipeworx is not a directory. It's a metered data gateway. The data sources behind it — ATTOM, FRED, SEC EDGAR, ClinicalTrials.gov, UN Comtrade, EPA, BLS — are the same sources analysts and institutions pay thousands to access. Your AI agent gets them through one URL.

Ask anything
ask_pipeworx("What is the US trade deficit with China?")
→ $1.81 trillion deficit (2024, Census Bureau)
ask_pipeworx("What are the side effects of ozempic?")
→ 54,647 FDA adverse event reports
ask_pipeworx("Get Apple's latest 10-K filing")
→ SEC EDGAR filing data
ask_pipeworx("What's the current 30-year mortgage rate?")

The gateway picks the right tool, fills the arguments, executes it, and returns the answer. No API keys, no schema matching, no setup.

Compound tools
These combine multiple APIs into a single call — the kind of synthesis that normally takes an analyst 5+ individual queries:
trade_bilateral_analysis({ reporter_code: "842", partner_code: "156" })
→ US-China imports, exports, top commodities, exchange rates — one call
pharma_drug_profile({ drug_name: "ozempic" })
→ FDA approvals, adverse events, drug interactions, active clinical trials — one call
fintech_company_deep_dive({ ticker: "AAPL" })
→ SEC filings, stock quote, income statement, consumer complaints — one call
