This wraps the Giphy API so you can search and retrieve GIFs directly from Claude or other MCP clients. It's part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either connect to the standalone Giphy endpoint or get it bundled with 673+ other data sources through the main gateway. Ships with a public beta key so you can start using it immediately without API setup. You can call tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx natural language interface to search for GIFs by describing what you want. Good for adding visual content to workflows, building chat interfaces, or just quickly grabbing reaction GIFs without leaving your editor.
Giphy MCP — wraps Giphy API (public beta key, 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": {
"giphy": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/giphy/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 Giphy data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
