Overview
Submit a target word and an optional language parameter, which defaults to English. The endpoint checks the term to return an array of direct antonyms. It also identifies the grammatical part of speech, omitting that field whenever an input word is unrecognised.

The tool
Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as AntonymFinderSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.
{
"name": "AntonymFinderSkill",
"arguments": {
"word": "happy"
}
}You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about happy in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for AntonymFinderSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.
Connecting
One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vervekit": {
"url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcpPer-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.
Arguments
These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
wordRequired | string | The word to get the antonyms for |
languageOptional | string | Language to return the antonyms in. Defaults to English |
What the model gets back
The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.
{
"status": "ok",
"error": null,
"data": {
"partOfSpeech": "adjective",
"word": "happy",
"language": "en",
"antonyms": [
"sad",
"unhappy",
"miserable",
"depressed",
"glum"
]
}
}
Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
partOfSpeech | string | adjective | Part of speech of the input word (noun, verb, adjective, adverb and so on). Omitted when the word is not recognised. |
word | string | happy | The input word for which antonyms were found |
language | string | en | Language code identifying the language of the word |
antonyms | array | ["sad","unhappy","miserable"] | Array of antonym words with opposite meanings |
Failure modes
Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
400 / 422 | The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one. |
401 | The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server. |
403 | Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity. |
404 | This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog. |
429 | Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart. |
A call costs 20 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
