What your AI can do with Excuse
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “ask_pipeworx”: PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government.”
“Use “ask_pipeworx_beta”: Beta version of ask_pipeworx: identical universal router (same 6,350 tools, same arguments, same response shape) with candidate routing impr.”
“Use “ask_pipeworx_grounded”: Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads. Same routing as ask_pipeworx — picks the right tool from 6,350 across 1659 source.”
“Use “search_within”: Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natu.”

Official endpoint
Operated by Excuse (pipeworx.io) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Excuse adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick Excuse
Choose Excuse in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.

Excuse's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Who runs the Excuse MCP server?
The Excuse MCP server at a glance
https://gateway.pipeworx.io/excuse/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Excuse MCP server?
Yes — Excuse operates its own remote MCP server at gateway.pipeworx.io. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Excuse to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Excuse in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Excuse's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Excuse runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Excuse MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Excuse in minutes. No credit card required.
