If you use an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT, you can now point it straight at Urban Dictionary.
It's an MCP server, which is just a way for AI tools to look things up in a real source instead of guessing. Ours lets an assistant define a word, pull a few random ones, or grab the words of the day, all from the actual definitions people wrote here.
It's a beta, so things might change. The address is mcp.urbandictionary.com, with setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT, and a few others. If something's off, please let us know.
The Urban Dictionary Team
In 1999, we started documenting the language that traditional dictionaries ignored. 26 years later, we are doing the same thing, and in the age of AI, it’s even more important.
AI can write a sentence, but it can’t write slang, and it can’t make “fetch” happen. Only you can do that, when you need a new word to describe who you are and how you feel.
ChatGPT can answer “What does this word mean?”, but Urban Dictionary can answer “Does anyone else feel the way I do?”. Every definition makes a connection between someone who felt something and someone else who needed to know they weren’t alone.
In the near future, you can expect more tools for contributors, more features, and stronger community. The next 26 years for us is about protecting authentic human expression.
Thank you to everyone who has defined, voted on and read definitions. You’re helping create an archive of how humans actually speak in the 21st century.
Happy Birthday, Urban Dictionary!

Earlier this year, I made a difficult decision to temporarily remove a critical feature Urban Dictionary has had since 1999: voting on definitions.
As the internet changed, our voting system had become increasingly vulnerable to manipulation. What worked in 1999 doesn't work in 2025.
When the feature went offline, we heard from many of you: Urban Dictionary's democracy doesn't function without voting. You were right.
One person, one vote
As of election week, voting is back, but it works differently. We've rebuilt the system with modern anti-bot verification to ensure that every up and down vote comes from a real human, not from a machine.
The new voting process is a little slower, but it's worth it to ensure votes are real. The internet is flooded with AI-generated content. Urban Dictionary will continue to choose human authenticity over inflated numbers.
Urban Dictionary has always been about documenting modern language, and responding to the needs of the people who use it. Thank you for caring, noticing that something was missing, and for telling us about it.
Go vote!
