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.

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined as fetching and parsing dictionary entries from Longman.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Since there is only a single tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The tool name 'get_dictionary_entry' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, which would be consistent if more tools were added.

    Tool Count2/5

    A single tool is too few for a dictionary server, as it lacks basic operations like searching for words, handling synonyms/antonyms, or managing user history. This minimal scope limits functionality and feels incomplete for the domain.

    Completeness2/5

    The tool surface is severely incomplete for a dictionary server. While it provides entry retrieval, it misses essential features such as word search, phonetic lookups, example sentences, or related terms, which are standard in dictionary applications.
