Wraps the StupidAPIs Magic 8 Ball endpoint and exposes it through a single tool that takes yes/no questions and returns mystical answers. Supports cynical mode for negative-weighted responses and corporate mode for business jargon variants. Requires an X-API-Key for authentication. Hosted through the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can use the ask_pipeworx natural language interface instead of calling the tool directly. Realistically, this is for tie-breaking decisions, adding humor to workflows, or building demo agents that need a randomized oracle. The streamable-http transport makes it easy to drop into any MCP-compatible client without local setup.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"magic-8-ball": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/magic-8-ball/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 Magic 8 Ball data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
