Summary
Wraps the Open Trivia Database API with no authentication required. Exposes a single tool to list available trivia categories and their IDs, which you can then use to fetch questions. Useful if you're building quiz features, testing conversational flows with structured Q&A data, or need throwaway content for demos. Part of the Pipeworx gateway that bundles 673+ data sources, so you can either connect to this standalone endpoint or access it through their unified gateway. The ask_pipeworx interface lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly. Free tier available since the underlying Open Trivia DB requires no API key.

Trivia MCP — wraps Open Trivia Database (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_questions | Get trivia questions from the Open Trivia Database. Optionally filter by category, difficulty, and question type. |
list_categories | List all available trivia categories and their IDs. |
get_category_stats | Question inventory for one Open Trivia Database (opentdb.com) category, given the numeric category id from list_categories. Returns the total number of quiz questions in that category plus the easy, medium, and hard counts. Answers how many trivia questions the Open Trivia DB holds on a topic before requesting a quiz round of a given difficulty. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"trivia": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/trivia/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/trivia/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.
Using with ask_pipeworx
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 Trivia data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
