Live data for AI agents. One MCP connection gives your AI access to 1,100+ data sources and 4,600+ tools — SEC filings, FDA adverse events, trade flows, mortgage rates, clinical trials, government contracts, and more.
Pipeworx is not a directory. It's a metered data gateway. The data sources behind it — ATTOM, FRED, SEC EDGAR, ClinicalTrials.gov, UN Comtrade, EPA, BLS — are the same sources analysts and institutions pay thousands to access. Your AI agent gets them through one URL.
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client.
The gateway picks the right tool, fills the arguments, executes it, and returns the answer. No API keys, no schema matching, no setup.
