Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | list_licenses | List SPDX licenses with optional filters (OSI-approved, FSF Free/Libre, deprecated). | | get_license | Get metadata + descriptors for one SPDX license id (e.g. "MIT", "Apache-2.0", "GPL-3.0-or-later"). | | get_license_text | Get the full license text for a single SPDX license id (returns standard text + cross-references). | | search | Substring search across SPDX id and full license name (case-insensitive). |

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ 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 Spdx License data" })

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