Connects Claude to Repology's cross-distribution package database. You get five tools: look up all packages for a project across distros, check maintenance problems, list all indexed repositories with stats, query maintainer activity by email, and search projects with filters. Useful when you need to compare how different Linux distributions package the same software, track version drift, or investigate packaging issues across the ecosystem. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either use the dedicated Repology endpoint or access it alongside 673+ other data sources through the unified gateway with natural language queries via ask_pipeworx.
Repology MCP — cross-distro package version aggregator.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |

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