What Wordnik (BYOK) is for

Wordnik (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Wordnik data through the Wordnik API with a key you supply (Wordnik API key). Read-only: 12 tools (get_definitions, get_examples, get_top_example, get_related_words, get_pronunciations, get_hyphenation, get_etymologies, get_word_frequency, get_phrases, search_words, get_random_words, get_word_of_the_day). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.wordnik.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Wordnik. Wordnik and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "What does 'serendipity' mean?"
• "Show example sentences with the word 'ephemeral'"
• "Give me one good example sentence for 'ubiquitous'"
• "What are the synonyms and antonyms of 'happy'?"
• "How do I pronounce 'colonel'?"
• "How many syllables does 'encyclopedia' have?"

What it does

• get_definitions: Get dictionary definitions of an English word from five source dictionaries, with part of speech and the attribution text that must be shown with each.
• get_examples: Get real example sentences that use a word, with the title and link of the source.
• get_top_example: Get the single best example sentence for a word.
• get_related_words: Get synonyms, antonyms, rhymes, hypernyms and other related words for a word, grouped by relationship type.
• get_pronunciations: Get text pronunciations of a word (IPA, ARPABET and other notations).
• get_hyphenation: Split a word into syllables.
• get_etymologies: Get the origin (etymology) text of a word.
• get_word_frequency: Get how often a word was used per year in the Wordnik corpus between two years.
• get_phrases: Get common two-word phrases (bigrams) that contain a word.
• search_words: Search the word list for words matching a pattern; set allow_regex for a regular expression. Filters by length and corpus frequency.
• get_random_words: Get random English words, optionally with a length range and part of speech.
• get_word_of_the_day: Get Wordnik's word of the day for a date (today if omitted), with definitions, examples and a note.

BYOK key

You bring your own Wordnik Wordnik API key (https://developer.wordnik.com/gettingstarted). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.wordnik.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

What it is not

Wordnik (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Wordnik (BYOK) is. Wordnik (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Wordnik data: Look up English definitions, example sentences, synonyms, pronunciations, syllables, word frequency and word of the day with your own Wordnik API key. You bring your own Wordnik Wordnik API key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Wordnik call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.wordnik.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Wordnik rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Wordnik receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Wordnik's own terms and privacy policy. Wordnik acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Wordnik gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Wordnik data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Wordnik (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Wordnik at any time to end all access.

Children. Wordnik (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Wordnik's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
