Wraps the Board Game Atlas API so you can search and retrieve boardgame data directly from Claude or other MCP clients. Comes preconfigured with a public demo client_id, so no API key setup required to start querying. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which means you can either use this standalone server or access it through their unified gateway alongside 250+ other data sources. The ask_pipeworx tool lets you pose natural language questions instead of calling specific endpoints. Useful when you're building hobby projects, recommendation engines, or just want boardgame metadata without leaving your AI workflow. Runs over streamable HTTP, so no local installation needed.
Boardgames MCP — wraps Board Game Atlas API (public demo client_id, free)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"boardgames": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/boardgames/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ 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 Boardgames data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
