mcp-licenses

Open-source licenses MCP (SPDX).

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1193+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool Description
lookup_license Look up an open-source license by its exact SPDX id (e.g. "MIT", "Apache-2.0", "GPL-3.0-only", "BSD-3-Clause"). Returns the full name, OSI/FSF approval, deprecation status, and reference URLs. Keyless.
search_licenses Search the SPDX license list by keyword (matches the id or name), e.g. "GPL", "creative commons", "mozilla". Keyless.
get_license_text Fetch the full license text for an SPDX id (e.g. "MIT"). Keyless.

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1193+ 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 Licenses data" })

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