`list_packs`

Pack: pipeworx-catalog · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_packs for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Browse all available Pipeworx packs. Returns pack names, categories, tool counts, and gateway URLs. Use to discover data sources or explore what’s available.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`category`	string	no	Free-text filter matched against pack slugs, descriptions, and tool names/descriptions — not a fixed taxonomy (e.g. “weather”, “pesticide”, “sec filings”). Omit to list everything.
