What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

    Get the opening vocabulary lessons of an HSK level, in the order GraphChinese teaches them, each a themed group of words with pinyin and meaning. This is a learning order, not an alphabetical word list. Use this when the user asks what words to learn first, or what to start with

  • get_common_characters

    List the most frequent Chinese characters, most common first, each with its pinyin, meaning, HSK level and the cumulative share of running text it covers, plus how many characters are needed to cover 50, 80, 90 and 95 percent. Counted over GraphChinese's 145 graded readings. Use

  • get_topic_words

    Get the core Chinese words for a topic such as food, family, travel or business, with pinyin, meaning and HSK level. Call it with no topic to list the 30 topics and their slugs. Use this when the user wants words for a situation or subject. Do not use it to translate a specific w

Common questions

Is GraphChinese: Chinese dictionary and grammar 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 23 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
