Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
get_gemGet full metadata for a published Ruby gem by name. Returns latest version, authors, license, descriptions, download counts, and project/source URLs. Use for "what is gem X?", "tell me about Ruby gem Y", or before calling get_versions/get_dependencies.
search_gemsSearch RubyGems by keyword in name/description. Returns matching gems sorted by relevance with name, version, downloads, and info text.
get_versionsGet full version history for a Ruby gem. Returns every published version with release date, download count, Ruby version compatibility, and licenses. Use for "what versions of X exist?" or "when did Y release version Z?".
get_dependenciesGet the runtime and development dependencies for a specific version of a Ruby gem. Returns each dependency with its version requirement string. Omit version to get the latest.
get_reverse_dependenciesList gems that depend on this gem. Useful for understanding ecosystem impact ("what depends on Rack?") or risk surface ("how many gems would break if this one had a vulnerability?"). API caps at 50 names per request.

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ 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 Rubygems data" })

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