XKCD MCP — wraps xkcd.com JSON API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"xkcd": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/xkcd/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ 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 Xkcd data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
