lookup
Pack: jisho · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/jisho/mcp
Look up a single Japanese or English word in the Jisho.org dictionary and return only the single best/first matching entry in a compact form: headword (slug), common-ness, JLPT level, all readings, a flat list of English meanings, and the unique parts of speech. Best for quick “what does this word mean / how is it read” questions. Accepts kanji, kana, romaji, or English.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
word | string | yes | The word to look up: Japanese kanji/kana, romaji, or English (e.g. “食べる”, “taberu”, “to eat”). |
