What the Dictionary Api connector can do
Dictionary Api returns definitions, pronunciations, origins, and related words for a given term without requiring an account. In a type.com Space, the agent can look up a word while editing copy, checking a synonym, or settling a definition question, so writers and editors can confirm word choice without leaving the thread where a document is being reviewed.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Dictionary Api once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Dictionary Api
Can Claude look up word definitions in type.com?
Yes. Once a Dictionary Api connection is shared with a Space, the agent can pull definitions, phonetics, and synonyms for any word in a thread, visible to the whole team.
How does type.com authenticate with Dictionary Api?
The connection uses an API key added once by an admin, who then chooses which Spaces can use it, consistent with how other API-key integrations are set up.
Can word lookups be used inside other writing tasks?
Yes. The agent can pull a definition or synonym mid-conversation while drafting or editing content in the same thread, without switching to a separate dictionary site.
Is this the same as a Dictionary Api MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
