Ldoce MCP Server

smithery badge

Este é um MCP server desenvolvido em Node.js e TypeScript que consome a página do Longman Dictionary para uma determinada palavra e retorna os dados extraídos no formato JSON padronizado para uso por agentes de IA.

Descrição

O servidor se conecta à URL https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/<word>, extrai informações como a introdução, tópicos relacionados, entradas (verb e noun), corpus examples e origem, e retorna esses dados estruturados em um objeto JSON. O projeto segue os padrões do Model Context Protocol (MCP) e utiliza os pacotes Axios e Cheerio para requisições HTTP e parsing de HTML.

Recursos

- Extrai informações do Longman Dictionary:
- Introdução e tópicos relacionados
- Entradas com detalhes de pronúncias, sentidos, exemplos, etc.
- Corpus examples
- Origem da palavra
