Dictionary & Thesaurus

Provides English word definitions, synonyms, and example usage through the Free Dictionary API for writing assistance and vocabulary building applications.

This dictionary and thesaurus MCP server provides English word definitions, synonyms, and example usage through the Free Dictionary API, built by Alex Stansfield using FastMCP and the requests library. The implementation offers three core tools: word definition lookup with part-of-speech categorization, synonym retrieval, and example sentence extraction, making it valuable for writing assistance, vocabulary building, and language learning applications where AI assistants need access to comprehensive word reference data. The server handles API error cases gracefully by returning empty results or error messages when words are not found, and structures the dictionary data into organized meanings with definitions grouped by grammatical function.
