Summary
Wraps the PoetryDB API to let you search poems by title or keyword, pull everything by a specific author, or grab random poems for inspiration. No authentication needed. You get three straightforward tools: search_poems for finding specific works or themes, poems_by_author for exploring complete collections (Shakespeare, Dickinson, etc.), and random_poems when you want discovery over precision. Hosted on Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure, so it's streamable HTTP rather than stdio. You can call tools directly or use ask_pipeworx to handle queries in plain English. Useful when you're building anything that needs classical poetry data without API key hassle.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"poetry": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/poetry/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Poetry data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
