pipeworx-io/mcp-numbersapi

Wraps numbersapi.com to pull trivia, math properties, and historical facts about numbers and dates. You get four tools: number_fact for general trivia (like why 42 is interesting), date_fact for what happened on March 14th, math_fact for prime factorizations and mathematical significance, and random_fact when you want serendipity. No authentication required since the underlying API is free and open. Hosted through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either point directly at the NumbersAPI endpoint or connect to their full gateway for 673+ data sources. Useful when you're building educational tools, chat features that need conversational hooks, or anything that benefits from number-based trivia on demand.
