Pulls tldr-pages directly from the canonical GitHub repo and caches them for 24 hours. You get four tools: render a specific command's simplified man page, list all available commands, check supported platforms, and substring search across titles. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway as streamable HTTP, so no local server needed. If you're tired of wading through verbose man pages or need quick command syntax during a conversation, this gives you the community-maintained short versions on demand. Also supports plain English queries through ask_pipeworx if you want the gateway to route automatically instead of calling tools directly.

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

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Tldr Pages data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
