Connects to Wordnik's English dictionary API with four core operations: look up definitions, search for words, and generate random words (single or batch). Useful when you need linguistic data during development, whether you're building word games, testing text processing, enriching content with vocabulary variations, or just need a programmatic dictionary. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either hit the Wordnik endpoint directly or access it through the broader gateway alongside 250+ other data sources. Supports plain English queries through ask_pipeworx if you don't want to call tools directly.

"mcpServers": {
"wordnik": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wordnik/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Wordnik data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
