Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Dyslexia Steps every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

word

get_word_list

The full list: every word, its groups (for example -at, -an, -ap families), the grade range, the placement basis, the page URL and the license. Use an id from list_word_lists, e.g. short-a, kindergarten, sh.

list_word_lists

Lists the available word lists with id, title, language, section, grade range, the source of the grade placement and word count. Filter by language, grade (English lists whose grade range includes it) or section. A grade is a typical guide, not a rule: programs and standards differ, and it is not an assessment of any child. English lists are placed by grade; lists in other languages follow each language's own curriculum and have no grade.

words

find_words

Finds words in the lists that start with, end with or contain a letter pattern, for example 'sh', 'ck', '-ight' or 'ai'. Returns each match with its list, grade range and page. Case-insensitive.

get_words_for_grade

Every different English word from the lists that cover a grade, deduplicated, with the lists each word comes from. Optional section filter (for example only sight words or only cvc). A grade is a typical guide, not a rule: programs and standards differ, and it is not an assessment of any child. English lists are placed by grade; lists in other languages follow each language's own curriculum and have no grade.

citation

get_citation

License (CC BY 4.0 for the compilation; the Dolch words are public domain), the citation text and the CSV and JSON download addresses.

placement

get_placement_basis

Explains the source of each grade placement: Dolch's own grade levels (1936, public domain), the Common Core Foundational Skills item that names the skill, or a typical sequence when no standard names it. Includes the limits.

Dyslexia Steps — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Dyslexia Steps do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_words, get_citation, get_placement_basis, get_word_list, get_words_for_grade, list_word_lists. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Dyslexia Steps mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around words and word. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Dyslexia Steps working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 266 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Dyslexia Steps?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Dyslexia Steps need an API key?

No. Dyslexia Steps completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Dyslexia Steps?

It answers our handshake in 266 ms on average, which is faster than 53% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Dyslexia Steps open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.dyslexiasteps.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
