Summary
Wraps the icanhazdadjoke.com API and exposes three straightforward tools: random_joke for a single joke, search_jokes to filter by keyword or topic, and get_joke to retrieve by ID. No authentication required. Runs through Pipeworx's streamable HTTP gateway, which also offers an ask_pipeworx interface that lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly. Useful when you want to lighten the mood in a CLI tool, add humor to a chatbot, or test MCP integration without dealing with API keys. Part of a larger gateway that connects to 673+ data sources, so you can add it standalone or access it through the full Pipeworx setup.
