## Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"

```
## Using with ask_pipeworx

```
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Github data" })
```
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
