Poetry MCP — PoetryDB API (free, no auth)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`search_poems`	Search poems by title or keyword. Returns matching poems with full text and author information. Use when looking for a specific poem or exploring a theme.
`poems_by_author`	Get all poems by a specific author (e.g., "Shakespeare", "Emily Dickinson"). Returns titles and full text. Use to explore an author's complete body of work.
`random_poems`	Get random poems from the collection—specify count for multiple. Returns full text, title, and author. Use for discovery or creative inspiration.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

config.json

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

config.json

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

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

Code

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Poetry data" })

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