+
+IMF MCP — wraps IMF SDMX JSON REST API (dataservices.imf.org)
+
+Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 965+ live data sources.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "imf": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/imf/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 965+ data sources:
+
+```json
+{
+  "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 Imf data" })
+```
+
+The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
