Overview
Pass a target word as a query parameter to retrieve a list of related synonyms as an array of strings. Responses repeat the queried word with the matching vocabulary entries. Paid plans also include the total count of similar words found.

The tool
Once your client is connected to the VerveContext server, this appears in its tool list as SynonymDataforAIAgents. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.
{
"name": "SynonymDataforAIAgents",
"arguments": {
"word": "big"
}
}You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about big in the terms this source covers is enough for it to reach for SynonymDataforAIAgents on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.
Connecting
One server URL covers every source in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

"mcpServers": {
"vervecontext": {
"url": "https://api.vervecontext.com/v1/mcp"
}

Arguments
These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
wordRequired | string | The word for which you want to get synonyms |
What the model gets back
The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
word | string | big | The word queried for synonyms |
similarCountPremium | number | 50 | Total count of similar words found in thesaurus |
similarWords | array | ["large","ample","sizable"] | Array of synonym strings for the queried word |
Why ground on it
A model can produce something that looks like this answer from its training data, and be confidently out of date or simply wrong. This source returns the current value in a shape you can check, which is the difference between an answer you can cite and one you have to hedge.
Point an evaluation at similarWords: it is the field most worth pinning a claim to, and it is either present and current or absent — never plausibly invented.
Failure modes
Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
400 / 422 | The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one. |
401 | The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server. |
403 | Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity. |
404 | This source is not part of VerveContext. Check the catalog. |
429 | Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart. |
A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
Use cases
- Text Editor Word Suggestions
- When authors double-click repetitive phrases in an online editor, display the list of returned synonyms in an inline replacement menu.
- Vocabulary Flashcard Apps
- Language learning platforms generate supplementary study cards by pairing each target vocabulary word with its matching synonym list.
- Search Query Expansion
- Broaden catalog product searches by appending synonyms to buyer queries so shoppers find relevant items described with different terms.
- Ad Copy Variation
- Marketing automation tools suggest synonym replacements for overused adjectives to help copywriters test fresh variations of headline text.
