Provides read-only tools for interacting with the Twitch Helix API, enabling agents to retrieve top games, list live streams by game or language, search channels/streamers, and look up Twitch user profile information.
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., "@Twitch MCP what are the top 5 live Twitch streams for Just Chatting right now?"
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.
Twitch MCP — wraps the Twitch Helix API (read-only)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1684+ live data sources.
Tool | Description |
| Get the top games currently being streamed on Twitch, ranked by number of viewers. Returns game id, name, and box art. Example: top_games({ first: 20 }) |
| Get live Twitch streams, optionally filtered by game name and/or language. Returns streamer name, title, current viewer count, and thumbnail for each live stream. Omit |
| Search Twitch channels/streamers by name or keyword. Returns matching channels with display name, the game they stream, whether they are live now, title, and thumbnail. Example: search_channels({ query: "ninja", live_only: true }) |
| Look up a Twitch user/channel by login (username). Returns profile info: id, display name, description, view count, broadcaster type, account creation date, and profile image. Example: get_user({ login: "ninja" }) |

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"twitch": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/twitch/mcp"
}
}
}tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/twitch/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 1684+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/top_games \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"first":20}'No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/top_games. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"twitch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-twitch"]
}
}
}Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-twitchIt 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.
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 Twitch data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
