This MCP server provides a dictionary service that retrieves word meanings from the Cambridge Dictionary and exposes them to clients via the Model Context Protocol. You can integrate it with Claude and other AI assistants to look up definitions, pronunciations, and example usage on demand.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to this server to perform word lookups. When you request a word, the server will fetch its pronunciation, definition, and example sentences from the Cambridge Dictionary and return structured results suitable for display in your assistant or app.

To enable the integration, configure your MCP client to run the server as a local process. The standard setup uses a local process started via an MCP command runner. You will typically start the server with an npm script and then issue lookup requests from your client. If you already have an MCP client running, point it at the local server process and use the provided lookup capability to fetch word data.

How to install

Prerequisites you need to install and run the server:
- Node.js (with npm)
- Basic command line experience

# 1) Install dependencies
npm install

# 2) Build the server for production
npm run build

# 3) Start the MCP server
npm run start:mcp

Additional setup and notes

Development workflow options include automatic rebuild during development and testing with an MCP Inspector. Use the following commands to enable these modes while developing or validating behavior.

# Enable automatic rebuild during development
npm run watch

# Test the server with the MCP Inspector
npm run inspector
