Wraps the Free Dictionary API so you can look up word definitions, pronunciations, and meanings directly from your MCP client. No authentication required, which makes it dead simple to add to any setup. The source documentation is light on specifics about which exact tools are exposed, but given the API it wraps, you're likely getting definition lookups and possibly phonetics and usage examples. Useful when you're writing, need quick word references without switching contexts, or want to build agents that can explain terminology on the fly. Part of the larger Pipeworx gateway if you need access to their full catalog of data sources, but this standalone endpoint works fine on its own.
Dictionary MCP — wraps Free Dictionary API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dictionary": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dictionary/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ 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 Dictionary data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
