WordsDesk MCP server

WordsDesk

WordsDesk is a hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol server for word search puzzles. An AI assistant can use it to build a puzzle from one of 11 themes at easy, medium or hard, make one from your own words, and list the themes and their words. In hosts that support MCP Apps (ChatGPT, Claude) the puzzle is a playable grid with a timer and a Show answers switch.

This repository holds the public server description, icons and connection instructions. The server itself is hosted at wordsdesk.com, so there is nothing to install or run locally.

Tools

All tools are read-only.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
