Gives you keyless access to the Open Beauty Facts database, a collaborative project cataloging cosmetics and personal care products with ingredient lists, allergen warnings, and sustainability data. No authentication required. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either connect to this single API or tap into their full 751+ data source collection through one unified MCP endpoint. The ask_pipeworx tool lets you query in natural language instead of calling specific functions. Useful when you're building features around product safety, ingredient analysis, or helping users make informed choices about cosmetics without spinning up your own scraper or managing API keys.
Open Beauty Facts MCP — Open Beauty Facts API (free, no auth, keyless).

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"openbeautyfacts": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openbeautyfacts/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 751+ data sources:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Openbeautyfacts data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
