Connects Claude to any Lemmy instance through a read-only API that covers the main content surfaces: posts, comments, communities, and search. You get seven tools that map to standard Lemmy endpoints, so you can pull threads by ID, list communities, grab site metadata, or run full-text searches across federated instances. It's hosted as part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either point directly at the Lemmy endpoint or use the broader gateway that bundles 673+ data sources. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you skip manual tool calls and just ask questions in plain English. Useful when you need to query or analyze Lemmy content without building against their API directly.
Lemmy MCP — public reads on any Lemmy instance.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
posts | List posts. |
post | Single post by id. |
comments | Comments. |
communities | List communities. |
community | Community metadata. |
site | Instance metadata. |
search | Full search. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"lemmy": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/lemmy/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 Lemmy data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
