mcp-stackexchange

StackExchange MCP — wraps the StackExchange API v2.3 (free, no auth required for read)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool

Description

search_questions

Search for questions on StackOverflow or any StackExchange site. Returns title, body, score, answer count, tags, and link.

get_answers

Get answers for a specific StackExchange question by ID. Returns answer body, score, and whether it is accepted.

stack_get_user

Look up a StackExchange user by numeric ID. Returns display name, reputation, badges (gold/silver/bronze counts), location, website, account age, last access, and per-site activity counts (questions/answers). Works on any StackExchange site (default: stackoverflow).

list_questions_by_tag

Browse questions by TAG, sorted by votes or recency — answers "top questions tagged ", "trending questions this week/month", "most-voted questions". Returns title, score, answer count, whether answered, view count, tags, and link (call get_answers with a returned question_id to read answers). Combine tags with ";" for AND (e.g. "kubernetes;helm"). Distinct from search_questions, which is keyword-based.

stack_tags

List or search StackOverflow / StackExchange tags with question counts and synonym info — top tags by popularity, tags matching a name fragment, or stats for specific tags. Answers "most popular StackOverflow tags", "how many questions are tagged X", "which tags have more than N questions". Example: stack_tags({ sort: "popular", limit: 20 }) or stack_tags({ inname: "python" })

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ 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 Stackexchange data" })

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