Global Peace Index MCP server

@pipeworx/global-peace-index

Annual country peacefulness score and rank — country-risk context to pair with event/news data, so a spike of conflict or violence news for a country can be read against its standing peacefulness level.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1831+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

the prior edition for one country.

• gpicountryscore(country) — the Index score, rank, and rank change vs

countries, ranked, in one call.

• gpi_ranking(limit, direction) — the N most peaceful or N least peaceful

Auth

Keyless.

Data sources

score built from societal safety and security, ongoing domestic and international conflict, and militarisation indicators, covering 163 countries and territories. Lower score = more peaceful.

• Institute for Economics & Peace, Global Peace Index — an annual composite

Licence

The Institute for Economics & Peace's official Global Peace Index data download carries a stated non-commercial licence, and its Terms & Conditions require written permission before republishing. Bruce ruled 2026-10-17 to ship this pack anyway — zero-rated (0 credits on every tier, never counted toward volume pricing) and carrying the publisher's attribution in every response's source field — the same shape as the symmap (#1385) and openvc-share-too case rulings. See CLAUDE.md's licence section for the ruling text.

Data freshness

Published only as an annual report (no live query API), so this pack reads from a periodically-refreshed copy rather than a per-request live call. Every response carries dataasof (when this pack's copy was last refreshed) and year (the edition's own data year) — check both before citing a figure as current.

Common pitfalls

America", "Democratic Republic of the Congo", "Republic of the Congo") — a handful of common aliases (USA, UK, DRC...) are accepted.

• Country names are the publisher's own spelling (e.g. "United States of

the most peaceful country).

• Lower score = more peaceful; lower rank number = MORE peaceful (rank 1 is

delta — positive means the rank improved (moved toward 1).

• rankchangevsprioredition is PLACES MOVED in the ranking, not a score

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "global-peace-index": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/global-peace-index/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/global-peace-index/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — askpipeworx, discovertools, 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 1831+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
