Words in Context is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 3 tools, among them check_answer, draw_items, generate_items. It answers at https://words-in-context.gumballtools.com/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 9 of 9 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 17 October 2026, succeeded.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://words-in-context.gumballtools.com/api/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
