Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1018+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`search_datasets`	Search Town of Chapel Hill GIS open geospatial datasets (parcels, zoning, transit & town services) by keyword. Returns each dataset's name, summary, record_count, owner/org, and its Feature Service `url` — pass that url to query_layer / layer_info.
`query_layer`	Query an ArcGIS Feature Service / Map Service layer by its url (from search_datasets). SQL-like `where`, comma-separated `out_fields`, `order_by`, `limit`, `offset`. Returns attribute rows (and geometry). Use where="1=1" + out_fields="*" to sample.
`layer_info`	Get an ArcGIS Feature/Map Service layer's schema by url: fields (name + type), geometry type, total record count, and capabilities.

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arcgis-chapelhill": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/arcgis-chapelhill/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1018+ data sources:

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

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Arcgis Chapelhill data" })

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