livonian
livonian_deromanize
Find the real Livonian word(s) whose pronunciation-romanization matches this clean-ASCII input — the inverse direction of `livonian_romanize`. Because romanize is lossy, this is a LOOKUP against the words already in the dictionary cache: attested spellings come back as source=dictionary. If none match, a single best-effort reconstruction is returned (source=reconstruction, approximate=true) — a guess, not attested. Coverage grows as words are cached, so an identical query may return a reconstruction now and a dictionary hit later.
livonian_get_inflections
Fetch the full declension (nouns) or conjugation (verbs) table for a word identified by a search result's inflection handle (entry_id + word_class) — the exact case, number, tense, not a guessed ending. Use this only when a search ran without inline forms, or to fetch a match a broad search left un-expanded. Never a first call — the handle values only come from livonian_search results, and a default search already returns each match's table inline, so calling this afterwards just re-fetches what you have. Returns Markdown — a nominal gets one case × {singular, plural} table; a verb gets a table per mood/tense (person × {affirmative, negative}, the negation auxiliary folded into the negative) plus its principal-parts and participle lists — or a clean not-found message. (Grammatical labels are normalised to English; Livonian forms stay verbatim.) The same table rides along as structuredContent with the shape {"result": <paradigm>} per the declared outputSchema — switch on result.category ('nominal' | 'verbal' | 'not_found') before reading the body. Results are cached server-side (repeats are instant) and calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry. Table content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).
livonian_romanize
Strip Livonian orthography down to clean, pronounceable ASCII for an English-trained downstream (a voice/TTS, a search box). See the `text` parameter doc for the exact letter mappings. Returns Markdown plus the romanized output as structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema. Pure local transform: no dictionary lookup, no network, and the output is always ASCII.
livonian_search
Look a word up in the real Livonian–Estonian–Latvian dictionary and return only attested content, so translations are grounded, not invented. Search a meaning (in English/Latvian/Estonian) to find the Livonian headword, or a Livonian word to confirm it exists and read its sense, part of speech and examples. See the `query` and `search_language` parameter docs for how to phrase a query. By default each match's full inflection table is returned inline, so one call usually suffices; on a broad query only the first N tables expand (the rest are listed as handles to fetch with livonian_get_inflections). Returns Markdown plus the same result as structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema. Results are cached server-side, so repeating a query is instant and free; a first-time query reaches the live dictionary and calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry instead of re-issuing immediately. Dictionary content is from livonian.tech (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute if republished).

Livonian — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Livonian do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: livonian_deromanize, livonian_get_inflections, livonian_romanize, livonian_search. 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 →
Is Livonian working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 167 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Livonian?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Livonian need an API key?
No. Livonian completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Livonian?
It answers our handshake in 167 ms on average, which is faster than 70% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
