+
+Dictionary definitions and word of the day (DictionaryAPI).
+
+A merged MCP server that consolidates duplicate single-purpose servers in this monorepo into one focused server.
+
+## Tools
+
+- `define` — Definition of a word.
+- `wordOfDay` — Random word with definition.
+- `randomWord` — Another random word with definition.
+- `featuredWord` — Featured word of the day.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run build
+node dist/index.js
+```
+
+## Source
+
+Public free APIs only. See `src/api.ts` for exact endpoints.
