Wraps the OpenAQ v2 API to pull live air quality data from monitoring stations worldwide. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either connect directly to this OpenAQ endpoint or use the full gateway for 250+ data sources. No authentication required since OpenAQ is free and open. The ask_pipeworx tool lets you query in plain English instead of calling specific endpoints. Reach for this when you need real air quality measurements, pollution levels, or environmental monitoring data in your agent workflows without setting up API keys or parsing responses yourself.

"openaq": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openaq/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

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