BEHIND THE WORDS

Good context, for your tools.

Read-only slang API and remote MCP with canonical citations, maturity labels, aliases, regional notes, and versioned data.

Read-only, sourced, and versioned.

Use SlangLane to look up documented meanings, show regional notes, or identify terms in a phrase. Responses include canonical URLs and source links. Some entries cover adult vocabulary with non-graphic explanations; use the maturity fields when your application needs to filter them.

Remote MCP

Endpoint: https://slanglane.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless; JSON responses)
Authentication: none for public read-only tools
Protocol versions: 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26

Add the endpoint to an MCP client that supports a remote Streamable HTTP server. Publishing an endpoint does not automatically connect it to any assistant or platform.

Available tools

Resources expose the publication manifest and entry Markdown. Requests use an existing edition; no public tool calls a language model.

Attribution and uncertainty

Preserve canonical_url, source_urls, checked_at, evidence_status, and release_id. An entry is a documented meaning, not proof of speaker intent or a diagnosis. Unknown terms return no match rather than a made-up definition.

Limits

Inputs are bounded; search returns at most 20 results and phrase decoding accepts up to 1,000 characters. Dynamic requests are rate limited, and the API has an aggregate daily serving quota. A 429 response is a signal to back off. Cache versioned reference results rather than repeatedly asking for the same entry.

Machine-readable alternatives

Every entry has a /terms/{slug}.md view. llms.txt describes formats and interpretation. The summary dataset has a separate reuse license.
