Inoh — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Connects an AI client to the Inoh dictionary and your word cards. Use it to look up vocabulary, build decks, and review words in chat.
claude mcp add --transport http inoh-mcp https://mcp.inoh.app/mcpWhat Inoh does
Inoh exposes the Inoh dictionary and a user’s private vocabulary cards through MCP. The connected assistant can search a word or phrase, check personal decks, place an existing card in a deck, or create a new card with a definition, sample sentence, audio, image, and quiz choices. Cards can also be revised or removed.
The server can read a deck without a search term, return recently added or older entries, and start a review session. Answers from the conversation are saved with record_review, so stopping partway through does not discard the recorded progress. A card keeps its review history when it appears in more than one deck.
A free Inoh account is required. Sign-in happens in the browser through Inoh’s email flow, while the client connects to https://mcp.inoh.app/mcp. Deleting a private card is permanent, so use deck removal when you only want to take it out of one collection.
What it helps with

- build a flashcard for a chosen meaning
- check whether a word is already in your decks
- start a vocabulary review in chat
