Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant look up named emotions, find the closest emotions to a described feeling, and see where an emotion is felt in the body.

What you can do
The server exposes The Emotion Dictionary's 402 named emotions through three tools. define_emotion looks up a single emotion by name or slug and returns its identifier, family, short definition, valence, arousal, canonical colour and entry URL. resolve_feeling takes a feeling described in plain words and returns the five closest named emotions ranked by meaning. body_signature shows where an emotion lives in the body, as regions on a 378 by 924 grid marked stirred or stilled.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs precise emotional vocabulary, such as helping a user name what they feel, comparing related emotions, or grounding writing and reflection in a defined vocabulary. It is a reference lookup, not a general dictionary or a clinical tool.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The dictionary content is published under CC BY 4.0, so reuse should credit the source. The tools are read-only lookups; the described feeling is sent to the remote endpoint. Entries are descriptive reference material, not medical or psychological advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open The Emotion Dictionary 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/io.github.GaetanGermain%2Femotion-dictionary/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

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
