Integration

Wordnik integration

Wordnik is an English dictionary API drawing on the American Heritage Dictionary, the Century Dictionary, Wiktionary, the GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English (GCIDE) and WordNet. Look up a word's definitions, example sentences from published texts, related words (synonyms, antonyms, rhymes and more), text and audio pronunciations, syllables, common two-word phrases, usage frequency by year and Scrabble score; find words from a description (reverse dictionary) or a pattern; and get random words or the word of the day. Etymologies are not exposed (the answer is a bare list of XML strings no output can name). Wordnik's terms require displaying the attribution returned with definitions and audio. Authentication is a Wordnik API key sent as the api_key query parameter; the free plan allows 100 calls per hour for nonprofit or research use, and a new key can take up to seven days to be issued.

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Wordnik.Built from the 15 Wordnik tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Wordnik

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Random word, 2 operations

get_random_wordGet random wordGETReturns one random English word, filtered by part of speech, length, corpus frequency and number of dictionary entries.
get_random_wordsGet random wordsGETReturns a list of random English words (10 by default), filtered by part of speech, length, corpus frequency and number of dictionary entries, optionally sorted alphabetically or by count.

Audio, 1 operation

get_word_audioGet word audioGETReturns audio pronunciations of a word (currently American Heritage Dictionary recordings in mp3), each with a time-limited fileUrl to download the file and the attribution to display.

Use Wordnik from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Wordnik in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Wordnik operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Wordnik

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Wordnik once
Add your Wordnik connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.

The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
