A humorous take on meeting culture, this server wraps the StupidAPIs service to evaluate whether meetings are worth attending. It exposes a single tool that analyzes meeting parameters and returns a time cost breakdown, productivity impact assessment, email viability score, and a templated decline message. The evaluation is explicitly biased toward recommending no. Requires an X-API-Key for authentication. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which offers optional natural language querying through ask_pipeworx instead of direct tool calls. Useful if you want your AI assistant to help you dodge low-value calendar commitments with data-backed justifications and pre-written polite refusals.
take-the-meeting MCP — wraps StupidAPIs (requires X-API-Key)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
take_the_meeting_evaluate | Evaluate whether a meeting is worth attending based on its parameters. Heavily weighted toward no. Returns time cost analysis, productivity impact, email viability score, and a polite decline template. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"take-the-meeting": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/take-the-meeting/mcp"
}
}
}
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/take-the-meeting/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Take The Meeting data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
