A lightweight wrapper around thecolorapi.com that lets Claude work with color data without needing authentication. You can query color schemes, conversions, and palettes through a streamable HTTP endpoint hosted on the Pipeworx gateway. The setup is straightforward: drop a URL into your MCP config and you're done. Instead of calling specific tools, you can use ask_pipeworx to request color information in plain English and let the gateway route it automatically. Handy when you're building design tools, need programmatic access to color theory, or want to generate palettes on the fly without managing API keys or rate limits.
Color API MCP — wraps thecolorapi.com (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": {
"colorapi": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/colorapi/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 Colorapi data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
