Ldoce MCP Server
This is an MCP server built in Node.js and TypeScript that consumes the Longman Dictionary page for a given word and returns the extracted data in standardized JSON format for use by AI agents.
Description
The server connects to the URL https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/<word> , extracts information such as the introduction, related topics, entries (verb and noun), corpus examples, and source, and returns this data structured in a JSON object. The project follows the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standards and uses the Axios and Cheerio packages for HTTP requests and HTML parsing.
