README
Quotable MCP — wraps the Quotable dataset (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
random_quote |
Get a random quote, optionally filtered by tag (e.g., "Wisdom", "Motivational") or author slug. Returns quote text, author, and tags. Tags come from a fixed list — call list_tags to see it. |
search_quotes |
Search quotes by keyword or phrase. Returns matching quotes with author names and topic tags. |
get_authors |
Look up an author by slug (e.g., "albert-einstein"). Returns bio, description, and total quote count. Without a slug, returns a page of the author list — the upstream list is unordered and cannot be searched, so prefer passing a slug. |
list_tags |
Browse all available quote tags sorted by popularity. Use returned tags with random_quote to filter by topic. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"quotable": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/quotable/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Quotable data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
