Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an assistant search PoetryDB for poems by title, keyword or author, and fetch random poems with full text.

What you can do
Search poems by title or keyword, returning matching poems with full text and author information. Retrieve all poems by a given author, with titles and full text. Fetch one or more random poems for discovery or creative inspiration.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to look up a specific poem, explore an author's body of work, or pull random poems for inspiration or creative writing tasks.
Requirements
A remote MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, pointed at the Poetry gateway endpoint. No authentication, API key or environment variables are declared; network access is required.
Before you install
Poem text and queries are sent to the third-party Pipeworx gateway and PoetryDB. The README also mentions an ask_pipeworx tool that routes questions through the full gateway, which may expose broader data sources; connect to the poetry-specific endpoint if you want only poetry access.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open poetry in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.pipeworx-io%2Fpoetry/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Poetry MCP — PoetryDB API (free, no auth)

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

Tools

ToolDescription
search_poemsSearch 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_authorGet 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_poemsGet random poems from the collection—specify count for multiple. Returns full text, title, and author. Use for discovery or creative inspiration.

Quick Start

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

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

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

json
{  "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 Poetry data" })

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