This is a free, no-auth gateway to the Cat as a Service API for dropping cat images into your AI workflows. It's part of Pipeworx, which wraps 250+ data sources behind streamable HTTP endpoints so you don't need to configure local transport layers. You can either call the CATAAS tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx natural language interface to let the gateway pick the right endpoint and arguments. Useful when you need quick placeholder images for testing UI flows or just want to add cats to literally anything. The source doesn't list specific tools, but it's a straightforward HTTP MCP that works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf out of the box.
CATAAS MCP — Cat as a Service (free, no auth)
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": {
"cataas": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cataas/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 Cataas data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
