`search_apis`

Pack: apis-guru · 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/search_apis for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search the APIs.guru directory of 2,500+ public APIs by free-text query. Matches against the API’s name/key, its title, description, and categories. Returns a list of matching APIs each with name (the directory key, e.g. “stripe.com” or “googleapis.com:calendar”), title, truncated description, provider, categories, preferred version, last-updated date, docs link, and OpenAPI/Swagger spec URL. Use this to discover which public APIs exist for a given domain (payments, weather, maps, etc.) and to get the exact name to pass to get_api.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Free-text search, e.g. “payments”, “google calendar”, “weather forecast”. Multi-word queries are matched word by word in any order, not as an exact phrase; results are ranked by how many of your words matched and where (a match on the API’s name outranks one in its description). Fewer, more distinctive words rank better.
`limit`	number	no	Max results to return (default 20).
