Spelling Bee Hive in Your AI Assistant

Spelling Bee Hive works inside AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot and Cursor. Connect it once and the assistant can check a spelling, give a word's pronunciation, meaning and language of origin, and quiz a speller on practice words from nine difficulty levels, the way a spelling bee pronouncer would.

The server address is https://www.spellingbeehive.com/mcp. It is free and needs no account or key. It only reads the same word lists anyone can see on this site, so it can never see or change a learner's account.

In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector and paste the address. In ChatGPT, turn on developer mode in the connector settings and create a connector with it. In VS Code with GitHub Copilot, in Cursor or in Claude Code, add it as an HTTP MCP server.

Five tools are included: look_up_word for a word's spelling, pronunciation, definitions, origin, difficulty and spelling bee history; practice_words for a round of words at a chosen level; winning_words for the winning words of past bees; words_of_the_year for each dictionary's Word of the Year; and trending_words for words people are looking up now.

Spelling Bee Hive is an independent study resource. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any spelling bee organiser, publisher or dictionary.
