Common questions

Is Datamuse MCP safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 7 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

datamuse-mcp

MCP server for the Datamuse API (word search, rhymes, synonyms, and more).

This project is open source, free to use, and licensed under MIT.

About

datamuse-mcp is a local stdio MCP server that wraps Datamuse endpoints into validated MCP tools. It is designed for practical word-finding use cases in assistants and clients that support MCP.

Purpose

This server provides simple MCP tools to:

  • find synonyms, antonyms, and rhymes;
  • run autocomplete;
  • fetch lexical details (definitions, POS, syllables, pronunciation, frequency);
  • search by spelling pattern (*, ?) or phonetic similarity.

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 18
  • npm

Install

npm install

Development

npm run dev

Build & run
