Wraps the Chess.com public API so you can pull player profiles, game history, ratings, and tournament data directly into Claude. No authentication needed since it uses Chess.com's free public endpoints. Hosted through Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure, which means you can either connect to this specific chess feed or tap into their full 673+ source catalog through a single MCP endpoint. The ask_pipeworx tool lets you query in natural language instead of calling specific functions. Reach for this when you're building chess analytics, player comparisons, or any workflow that needs live data from Chess.com without managing API keys or rate limits yourself.
Chess.com MCP — wraps the Chess.com public API (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": {
"chess": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/chess/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 Chess data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
