Summary
Wraps the uselessfacts.jsph.pl API to pull random trivia into your AI workflow. You get two tools: random_fact for a surprise bit of trivia, and today_fact for the daily entry. No API key required. It's hosted on the Pipeworx gateway, which means you can either connect to this server standalone or hook into the full Pipeworx setup for access to hundreds of other data sources. Useful when you want to inject some levity into demos, test conversational flows with unpredictable content, or just need a break from serious data APIs. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in plain English if you prefer that to direct tool calls.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Tools
| Tool | Description |

random_fact | Get a random useless (but interesting) fact. |
today_fact | Get today's useless fact of the day. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"uselessfacts": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/uselessfacts/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 Uselessfacts data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
