Connects to PoetryDB, a public API for English poetry, letting Claude search and retrieve poems by title, author, or lines. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem that bundles 850+ data sources behind a single MCP endpoint. You can add just the PoetryDB server if that's all you need, or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for everything. Includes an ask_pipeworx tool that takes plain English questions and routes them to the right API automatically. Useful when you want Claude to quote specific poems, analyze verse by particular authors, or pull poetry into creative writing projects without manual API wrangling.
PoetryDB MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 850+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"poetrydb": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/poetrydb/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 850+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Poetrydb data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
