AI disclosure: written by the SlangLane team with AI assistance from our source-verified dictionary release (daily-2026-10-21, 110 entries). Methodology.
When an LLM or AI agent encounters contemporary slang (cooked, delulu, lowkey, six seven, touch grass, or UK/Irish craic and knackered), guessing from pretraining weights often misses register, irony, or regional ambiguity.
SlangLane is a context-first English slang dictionary that exposes its entire published edition via:
- A stateless Streamable HTTP MCP server (
https://slanglane.com/mcp) with zero authentication required; - A CC BY 4.0 Open Dataset in CSV, classroom-safe SFW CSV, JSONL, and Frictionless Data (
datapackage.json); - A public read-only JSON API and per-entry Markdown (
/terms/{slug}.md).
1. Connect the Remote MCP Server in 10 Seconds
Add this to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any MCP client supporting Streamable HTTP:
{
"mcpServers": {
"slanglane": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://slanglane.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Or via mcp-remote for stdio-only clients:
npx -y mcp-remote https://slanglane.com/mcp
Six Read-Only Tools
-
lookup_termβ exact term, slug, or documented alias (returns meaning, tone, examples, sources, maturity, and canonical URL). -
search_termsβ lexical search with an optionalinclude_mature: falsefilter for classroom/SFW agents. -
decode_phraseβ scans a sentence up to 1,000 characters for documented slang without hallucinating speaker intent. -
compare_usageβ regional (US/UK/IE), register, and disambiguation notes. -
get_related_termsβ related expressions in the same semantic cluster. -
get_recent_termsβ newest published dictionary summaries.
2. Load the CC BY 4.0 Dataset in Python (pandas / Hugging Face datasets)
import pandas as pd
# Full dataset (110 entries)
df = pd.read_csv("https://slanglane.com/api/dataset.csv")
# Classroom-safe SFW edition (excludes all 18+ entries)
sfw_df = pd.read_csv("https://slanglane.com/api/dataset.csv?mature=false")
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("json", data_files="https://slanglane.com/api/dataset.jsonl")
