# pipeworx `pipeworx-catalog` — Pipeworx Catalog

## Coverage
Pipeworx platform self-index — list, search, and get connection configs for all hosted MCP packs and the broader community MCP directory.

Catalog `tool_count`: 7. Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns.

## Access
MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pipeworx-catalog/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 43 tools: these 7 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists.

Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01):

- `list_packs` — Browse all available Pipeworx packs. Returns pack names, categories, tool counts, and gateway URLs. No required arguments.
- `get_pack_tools` — Get tool definitions for a specific pack (e.g., 'weather', 'polygon-io'). Required: `slug`.
- `get_connection_config` — Get MCP setup instructions for connecting to Pipeworx packs. Required: `slugs`.
- `search_packs` — Search Pipeworx packs by keyword or a plain question across pack names, descriptions and tool descriptions (e.g. "weather", "translate", "Colombia procurement contracts awarded to a supplier"). Required: `query`.
- `get_platform_status` — Check Pipeworx platform health and availability. No required arguments.
- `search_mcp_directory` — Search thousands of MCP servers by use case (e.g., 'database', 'email', 'calendar'). Required: `query`.
- `data_freshness` — MEASURES publication lag for a curated set of high-value live-data sources — how fresh is this data, how old is this number, is this feed real-time, what's the data staleness on X. No required arguments.

Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-pipeworx-catalog -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pipeworx-catalog/mcp`.

## Auth
Catalog `auth.shape`: `keyless`. Verbatim detail: "No key required — open upstream, callable as-is." No credential is needed at the gateway to list or call (anonymous tier; see the gateway record).

## Rate limits
Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog.

## Freshness
Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: measured 100% over 20 synthetic checks in 7d (last checked 2026-09-28).

## Known gaps
- Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`.
- No catalog notes on cost or licence.
- This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself.

History

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
