Quotes MCP — citation-grade quote API for public-domain authors.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
random_quote | Return a random quote from the corpus, optionally filtered by author, fame, verification status, or tag. Each result includes citation: work, year, speaker (for plays/fiction), and source URL. |
search_quotes | Search quotes by substring. Matches both canonical text and known popular paraphrases — searching for 'protest' finds Hamlet's 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks' even though the popular form 'Methinks the lady doth protest too much' is what most people remember. |
check_attribution | Given a quote and (optionally) the author it is claimed to be by, return one of four verdicts: "verified" (genuine, with citation), "misattributed" (no primary source — popular but fake), "paraphrase_of_verified" (popular corruption of a real quote, returns the actual text), or "no_match" (not in corpus). Useful for journalists, researchers, and anyone tired of fake Mark Twain quotes. |
quote_by_location | Look up quotes by structural address within a work — act/scene for plays, chapter for novels. Example: author_id="william-shakespeare", work_title="Hamlet", act=3, scene=1 returns the "To be, or not to be" line. |
list_authors | Return all authors available in the corpus — each entry includes author id (used as input to other tools), display name, birth/death dates, and public-domain status. |
list_full_text_works | List works for which the full text (every scene, speech, and line) is loaded — beyond just the famous-quote excerpts. Use this to discover what is available for deep structural lookup via get_scene and get_act. |
get_scene | Return the full text of a specific scene from a play (every speech, every line, in order). Example: author_id="william-shakespeare", work_slug="hamlet", act=3, scene=1 returns the entire "To be, or not to be" scene including all of Hamlet's soliloquy and the subsequent dialogue with Ophelia. Useful for context, citation, or close reading. |
get_act | Return the full text of an entire act (all scenes within it). Use this to read a full structural unit at once. Returned object contains nested scenes with their speeches and lines. |
get_chapter | Return the full text of a chapter from a novel/prose work (all paragraphs in order). Example: author_id="oscar-wilde", work_slug="the-picture-of-dorian-gray", chapter=2 returns the entire chapter where Lord Henry tempts Dorian. Use list_full_text_works to discover which works are chapter-based. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {

"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/quotes/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Quotes data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
