"mcpServers": {
"rickmorty": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/rickmorty/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Rickmorty data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
