mcp-quotable
Quotable MCP — wraps the Quotable dataset (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Get a random quote, optionally filtered by tag (e.g., "Wisdom", "Motivational") or author slug. Returns quote text, author, and tags. Tags come from a fixed list — call list_tags to see it. |
| Search quotes by keyword or phrase. Returns matching quotes with author names and topic tags. |
| Look up an author by slug (e.g., "albert-einstein"). Returns bio, description, and total quote count. Without a slug, returns a page of the author list — the upstream list is unordered and cannot be searched, so prefer passing a slug. |
| Browse all available quote tags sorted by popularity. Use returned tags with random_quote to filter by topic. |
