A tongue-in-cheek wrapper around StupidAPIs that gives you a rotating excuse for why deploying on Friday is a catastrophically bad idea. Exposes a single tool, ship_on_friday_check, which always returns "no" along with a risk level, suggested deployment day, and on-call sympathy score. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either connect to this standalone server or access it through the full gateway alongside 250+ other data sources. Requires an X-API-Key. Honestly most useful as a Slack bot response or a pre-commit hook reminder, though the ask_pipeworx natural language interface means you can just ask "should I ship today" instead of calling the tool directly.
ship-on-friday MCP — wraps StupidAPIs (requires X-API-Key)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
ship_on_friday_check | Check whether you should ship on Friday. The answer is always no. Returns a rotating reason, risk level (always catastrophic), suggested day, and on-call sympathy score. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ship-on-friday": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ship-on-friday/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 Ship On Friday data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
