KBBI Overview

The KBBI MCP server connects AI assistants to the official Indonesian dictionary website, KBBI Daring. It runs locally over stdio and provides structured lookup results for Indonesian words or phrases, including homographs, pronunciation, roots, word classes, definitions, and examples. Use it when an agent needs dictionary-based explanations, translations, quotations, or clarification of Indonesian language. No account or API key is required, but lookups are anonymous and subject to KBBI limits.

Primary Use Cases for KBBI:

Look up Indonesian word definitions
Identify Indonesian root words
Explain Indonesian phrases using dictionary entries
Retrieve pronunciation and word classes
