Connects your MCP client to the NIST Randomness Beacon v2, which broadcasts cryptographically signed random values every 60 seconds. You get one tool, pulse_by_chain_pulse, that retrieves pulses by chain and index. Useful when you need verifiable public randomness with timestamps and signatures, like auditing lottery draws, timestamping documents, or any scenario where you want provably unpredictable numbers from a trusted government source. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either connect to this specific beacon or add the full Pipeworx endpoint for access to 673+ data sources at once.
NIST Randomness Beacon MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pulse_by_chain_pulse | Pulse by chain + pulse index. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"nist-beacon": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nist-beacon/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 Nist Beacon data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
