What is the Wiktionary MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with the power of the world's most comprehensive collaborative dictionary through the Wiktionary MCP server. This integration provides instant access to linguistic data for thousands of words and phrases. Your agent can retrieve precise definitions, identify parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives), see usage examples, and get concise summaries for encyclopedic topics. Whether you are improving your writing, translating complex texts, or exploring etymology, your agent acts as a dedicated philologist and lexicographer through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Word Definitions — Retrieve detailed linguistic definitions and parts of speech.
- Encyclopedic Summaries — Get concise descriptions for words that also function as general topics.
- Linguistic Examples — View real-world usage examples for better understanding of context.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the definition of an obscure word like 'synecdoche'?
Yes! Use the get_word_definition tool with the word 'synecdoche'. It will return the definitions, examples, and the part of speech from Wiktionary.
How do I see the part of speech for a word?
The get_word_definition tool automatically identifies if a word is a noun, verb, adjective, etc., and provides definitions for each relevant part of speech.
Does it provide a summary for general topics?
Yes. Use the get_word_summary tool to retrieve a concise description of a word that also functions as an encyclopedic topic, suitable for quick overviews.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
