Tools

ToolDescription
fortytwo_app_lookupLook up full details for a single mobile app — title, developer, ratings, downloads/installs, category, price, and more. For Android pass the package name via app_id (e.g. "com.facebook.katana"); for iOS pass the numeric App Store id (e.g. "284882215"). Example: fortytwo_app_lookup({ platform: "android", app_id: "com.facebook.katana", _apiKey: "your-token" })
fortytwo_app_searchSearch the app store by keyword and return matching apps with pagination. Example: fortytwo_app_search({ platform: "ios", query: "racing games", limit: 20, page: 1, _apiKey: "your-token" })
fortytwo_top_chartsGet a ranked top-chart list (top free, top paid, top grossing, etc.) for a country and category. Android uses cat_key (e.g. "OVERALL"); iOS uses genre_id (e.g. "36" for the overall/all-apps genre) plus optional device_type. Example: fortytwo_top_charts({ platform: "android", list_name: "topselling_free", cat_key: "OVERALL", country: "US", limit: 10, _apiKey: "your-token" })
fortytwo_apps_by_sdkFind apps that integrate a given SDK. Pass one or more SDK ids via sdk (e.g. "google-ads-admob"). Useful for competitive/market-share analysis of ad networks, analytics, and other SDKs. Example: fortytwo_apps_by_sdk({ platform: "android", sdk: "google-ads-admob", limit: 20, _apiKey: "your-token" })

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "42matters": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/42matters/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/42matters/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-toolsask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

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

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1558+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "42matters": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-42matters"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-42matters

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about 42matters data" })

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