Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-oeiswhat sequence starts 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
mcp-oeis
OEIS (On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences) MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1683+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search the OEIS (On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences), the authoritative database of integer sequences. Identify a sequence from its first terms by passing a comma-separated list of integers (e.g. "1,1,2,3,5,8" finds the Fibonacci numbers), look up a specific sequence by A-number (e.g. "A000045"), or search free-text keywords (e.g. "prime gaps"). Returns up to 10 matching sequences per page with their A-number, name, terms, keywords, author, and offset. Use the start argument to paginate (10 results at a time). |
| Fetch a single OEIS integer sequence by its A-number (e.g. "A000045" for the Fibonacci numbers, "A000040" for the primes). Accepts the A-number with or without the "A" prefix and zero-padding ("A000045", "45", and "000045" are all valid). Returns the full record: name, terms (data), comments, formulas, keywords, offset, author, and reference count. Use this to get the formula or mathematical description of a known sequence. |

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"oeis": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/oeis/mcp"
}
}
}What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/oeis/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1683+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_sequence \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query":"1,1,2,3,5,8"}'No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_sequence. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"oeis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-oeis"]
}
}
}Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-oeisIt speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Oeis data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
