ISBN validation & conversion MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
validate_isbn |
Validate an ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 (keyless, offline): detects the format and checks the check digit (ISBN-10 uses mod-11 with an "X" for 10). Hyphens/spaces ignored. Validates the number, not the book. |
convert_isbn |
Convert an ISBN between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 (recomputing the check digit). ISBN-10 -> ISBN-13 prefixes "978"; ISBN-13 -> ISBN-10 works only for the 978 prefix. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"isbn": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/isbn/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 Isbn data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
