Anapioficeandfire

What Anapioficeandfire does

Anapioficeandfire exposes the An API of Ice and Fire as MCP tools for querying A Song of Ice and Fire data. It covers three resource types:

• Books, including names, release dates, ISBNs, authors, publishers, page counts, and character lists.
• Characters, including aliases, titles, house affiliations, and book or point-of-view appearances.
• Houses, which can be searched and retrieved individually.

Collection queries can return multiple records with pagination. Book searches accept a name and release-date range. Character searches support name, culture, birth and death descriptors, gender, and alive status. House searches support name, region, words, titles, seats, extinct status, and ancestral weapons.

How it works

The tools use data from https://anapioficeandfire.com/api/. MCP clients can connect to the Pipeworx endpoint at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/anapioficeandfire/mcp, where the pack's tools are exposed alongside shared Pipeworx gateway tools. The gateway also provides ask_pipeworx, which can route a natural-language question to an appropriate tool.

A local alternative runs the package as a stdio MCP server. This mode handles MCP initialization, tool discovery, and tool calls for the Anapioficeandfire tools only; it does not include the gateway's shared meta-tools. The same data source and pack-specific operations are available in either mode.

The gateway also exposes HTTP tool endpoints. For example, clients can send a JSON POST request to /v1/tools/books to run a book search, without configuring an MCP client.

Setup and configuration

For a hosted MCP connection, add the following server URL to a compatible client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anapioficeandfire": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/anapioficeandfire/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The package can instead be launched locally with npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anapioficeandfire": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-anapioficeandfire"]
    }
  }
}

No API key or Pipeworx account is required for the standalone package, and the gateway supports initial calls without an account.

Tools and capabilities

• books(name?, fromReleaseDate?, toReleaseDate?, page?, pageSize?) searches and paginates books.
• book(id) retrieves one book.
• characters(name?, culture?, born?, died?, isAlive?, gender?, page?, pageSize?) searches and paginates characters.
• character(id) retrieves one character.
• houses(name?, region?, words?, hasTitles?, hasSeats?, hasDiedOut?, hasAncestralWeapons?, page?, pageSize?) searches and paginates houses.
• house(id) retrieves one house.

Limitations and notes

The integration is independent and unofficial, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the upstream data provider. A hosted pack endpoint includes shared Pipeworx tools in addition to the six pack-specific tools, so its advertised tool list is larger than the local stdio server's list. Use the local package when only the Anapioficeandfire tools are needed.
