Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Spelling Bee Hive in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.spellingbeehive%2Fspelling-bee/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Filter by part of a competition's name (for example "Scripps" or "Ghana") or by year. With no filter it returns the most recent national championship winners.

practice_words

Get spelling bee practice words

Get words to quiz a speller on, picked at random from one of Spelling Bee Hive's free practice sets at the chosen difficulty: levels 1-3 are School, 4-6 Advanced and 7-9 Champion, where 1 is the easiest and 9 is national-final difficulty. Each word comes with what a bee's pronouncer can give - pronunciation, part of speech, definition, language of origin and an example sentence - and a recording. Run it like a bee: say the word, give those clues when asked, and only reveal the spelling after the speller has answered.

Includes links to the word's page and a recording of it. Use it to check a spelling, or for the clues a speller may ask for in a bee.
