About Conceptnet

Conceptnet is an MCP server for querying ConceptNet’s multilingual graph of word and phrase relations. It is intended for agents and other clients that need concept links or semantic relatedness, and can run locally over stdio or through the Pipeworx gateway.

Key features

  1. 01Look up edges touching a term
  2. 02Filter queries by relation and node
  3. 03Score semantic relatedness
  4. 04Cover 80+ languages

Use cases

  1. 01Find synonyms or antonyms for a term
  2. 02Explore causal links between concepts
  3. 03Compare semantic relatedness of two terms

MCP support

It exposes word-relation lookup, edge queries, and semantic-relatedness tools to MCP clients. It can run as a local stdio server or connect through the Pipeworx gateway.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details

From the project README

@pipeworx/conceptnet

ConceptNet MCP — open multilingual knowledge graph of word/phrase relations: IsA, PartOf, UsedFor, HasA, RelatedTo, AtLocation, Causes, Synonym, Antonym, …. ~28M edges across 80+ languages. Keyless.

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

  • lookup(term, lang?, limit?, offset?, only_rel?, end_node_lang?) — all edges touching a term
  • query(rel?, start?, end?, node?, source?, limit?, offset?) — generic edge-query
  • relatedness(node1, node2) — semantic-relatedness score for two terms

Common relations

  • /r/IsA, /r/PartOf, /r/HasA, /r/UsedFor, /r/CapableOf, /r/AtLocation, /r/Causes, /r/Synonym, /r/Antonym, /r/RelatedTo, /r/HasContext, /r/MannerOf.

Data source

https://api.conceptnet.io/ — keyless, fair-use (~3600 req/hour).

Node URIs: /c/<lang>/<word> (e.g. /c/en/dog).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conceptnet": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/conceptnet/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/conceptnet/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/conceptnet_lookup \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"term":"dog"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/conceptnet_lookup. 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": {
    "conceptnet": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-conceptnet"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-conceptnet

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 Conceptnet data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?

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.
