For AI agents

Add to your MCP client config (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dictcc": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dictcc-mcp==0.1.0"]
    }

Or run locally: python -m dictcc_mcp.server (needs mcp<2, httpx).

Tools

Tool	Description
dictcc_translate	Translate a word or phrase with dict.cc: translations with word class, gender, usage notes & community votes — query, pair (de-en default; de-el, de-eo, de-es, de-fi, de-fr, de-hr, de-hu, de-is, de-it, de-la, de-nl, de-no, de-pl, de-pt, de-ro, de-ru, de-sk, de-sq, de-sr, de-sv, de-tr, de-uk), limit 1..50
dictcc_search	Find dict.cc headwords matching a query (prefix/containment) — query, pair (de-en default), limit 1..50
dictcc_health	Reachability probe (ok / blocked / error) — one polite request

Notes

• All data comes from dict.cc's public search pages (free, no key, no login).
• Translation rows carry the word, <var> word-class markers ({adj}, {n}, {f} …), <kbd> bracket notes and the community vote count; rows are returned in dict.cc's own vote ranking.
• 23 language pairs share the same page structure (DE-EN on www.dict.cc, the rest on <deXX>.dict.cc); the query direction is auto-detected from which side matches first in dict.cc's ranking.
• dict.cc has NO example sentences and NO verb conjugation on these pages (verified 2026-11-10) — only translations and headword search are exposed. For verb conjugation use duden-mcp.
• A query with no matches returns 200 with zero rows (not an error).

Tests: 23/23 green (18 offline + 5 live, 2026-11-10).
