Summary
Connects Claude to Wikimedia's REST API v1 through the Pipeworx gateway. You get two main tools: featured content (the daily featured article, image, and news) and onthisday events (historical events that happened on a given date). Useful when you need Claude to pull current Wikipedia featured content or answer "what happened on this day in history" questions without manually scraping or calling the API yourself. Part of a larger gateway that bundles 673+ data sources, so you can either use this standalone or connect to the full Pipeworx hub. Supports the ask_pipeworx interface for plain English queries instead of direct tool calls.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
