This wraps http.cat, the site that serves up cat images representing HTTP status codes. It's a lighthearted tool for when you need a visual representation of 404s, 500s, or any other HTTP status. The server is part of Pipeworx's gateway ecosystem, which means you can either connect directly to this single endpoint or access it through their unified gateway alongside 673+ other data sources. It supports their ask_pipeworx natural language interface, so you can request status cat images conversationally rather than calling tools directly. Free to use, no authentication required. Mostly useful for adding some humor to error handling demos or documentation.
HTTP Cat MCP — wraps http.cat (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": {
"httpcat": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/httpcat/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 Httpcat data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
