About Buzzword Density
Buzzword Density is an MCP server for detecting overused industry jargon in text, aimed at people reviewing business or professional writing. It scores jargon density by dictionary and can optionally return a roast critique.
Key features
- 01Detects overused industry jargon
- 02Includes tech, finance, consulting dictionaries
- 03Returns count, density, and severity
- 04Flags terms and optionally critiques
Use cases
- 01Check jargon levels in business copy
- 02Review consulting or startup writing
- 03Get a roast of jargon-heavy text
MCP support
It exposes the buzzword_density_analyze tool to MCP clients through Pipeworx or as a local stdio MCP server.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

buzzword-density MCP — wraps StupidAPIs (keyless — no credential needed)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1875+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
buzzword_density_analyze | Analyze a text passage for overused industry jargon using a tech, finance, consulting, startup, or combined dictionary. Returns buzzword count, density score (0-100), severity level, flagged terms, and an optional roast critique when roast=true. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"buzzword-density": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/buzzword-density/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/buzzword-density/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1875+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/buzzword_density_analyze \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"content":"We need to leverage our core competencies to synergize stakeholder value and create a paradigm shift in the marketplace through disruptive innovation.","industry":"consulting","roast":true}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/buzzword_density_analyze. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"buzzword-density": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-buzzword-density"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-buzzword-density
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Buzzword Density data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
