Wiktionary MCP — multilingual dictionary via Wikimedia REST + MediaWiki Action API

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 965+ live data sources.

Tool	Description
`definition`	Parsed definitions grouped by part-of-speech sections.
`summary`	Fetch the Wiktionary REST page summary (title, extract, thumbnail) for a word on the specified language subdomain (default en).
`search`	Wiktionary title + fulltext search.
`etymology`	Etymology section extracted from wikitext.
`pronunciations`	IPA / phonetic transcriptions extracted from wikitext.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wiktionary": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wiktionary/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 965+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Wiktionary data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
