HTTP Cats

Every HTTP status code deserves a cat. This pack returns cat image URLs from http.cat for any status code, plus a handy reference list of all common HTTP codes with their meanings.

Tools

• get_status_cat — Get the http.cat image URL for a specific HTTP status code (e.g., 404, 418, 500)
• list_codes — Reference list of common HTTP status codes with human-readable descriptions

Perfect for

• Making error messages more fun in documentation or Slack alerts
• Teaching HTTP status codes in a memorable way
• Adding personality to API monitoring dashboards
• "What does a 418 status code mean?" — it means I'm a Teapot, obviously

Example

curl -s -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/httpcat/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_status_cat","arguments":{"code":404}}}'

{
  "code": 404,
  "description": "Not Found",
  "image_url": "https://http.cat/404"
}
