Summary
Connects Claude to Homebrew's package registry via the formulae.brew.sh API. You get five tools: look up formulae and casks by name, pull install analytics for specific packages or top charts, and list recently added formulae. Useful when you're researching package popularity, checking if something exists in Homebrew, or need current install counts for decision making. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either use this standalone or tap into their full catalog of 250+ data sources. Supports an ask_pipeworx helper that takes natural language queries instead of direct tool calls.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
