Summary
Pulls the complete SPDX license database into Claude, giving you four tools: list_licenses with filters for OSI-approved or FSF-libre status, get_license for metadata on a specific ID like "MIT" or "GPL-3.0-or-later", get_license_text for the full legal text, and search for substring matching across IDs and names. Useful when you're reviewing open source dependencies, need to compare license terms, or want to validate license compatibility without leaving your editor. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either connect to this specific endpoint or access it through their unified gateway alongside 250+ other data sources.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_licenses | List SPDX licenses with optional filters (OSI-approved, FSF Free/Libre, deprecated). |
get_license | Get metadata + descriptors for one SPDX license id (e.g. "MIT", "Apache-2.0", "GPL-3.0-or-later"). |
get_license_text | Get the full license text for a single SPDX license id (returns standard text + cross-references). |

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"spdx-license": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/spdx-license/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 Spdx License data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
