Our assessment of pipeworx
pipeworx scores 71/100 on our quality scale, 3794th of 4,650 Development & Engineering skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 5.1 KB long, well organised into 9 sections with 3 code examples: a solid amount of guidance for an agent.
It has 10 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 4 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 95/100, with no cautions. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

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.

Compound tools
These combine multiple APIs into a single call — the kind of synthesis that normally takes an analyst 5+ individual queries:
trade_bilateral_analysis({ reporter_code: "842", partner_code: "156" })
→ US-China imports, exports, top commodities, exchange rates — one call
pharma_drug_profile({ drug_name: "ozempic" })
→ FDA approvals, adverse events, drug interactions, active clinical trials — one call
fintech_company_deep_dive({ ticker: "AAPL" })
→ SEC filings, stock quote, income statement, consumer complaints — one call
