Pig Latin Skill

Encode Pig Latin

OperationalCredits 2 per callp50 185msText Processing

Overview

Submit plain text strings along with an optional array of words you want untouched. The endpoint converts each non-excluded word into standard Pig Latin and returns the transformed string. Any provided exclusion terms are trimmed of whitespace, de-duplicated, and confirmed in the response.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as PigLatinSkill. 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.

Tool call
{
  "name": "PigLatinSkill",
  "arguments": {
    "text": "hello world"
  }
}

You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about hello world in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for PigLatinSkill 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"
    }
  }
}

Per-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.

ArgumentTypeDescription
textRequiredstringThe text to encode in Pig Latin
exclusionsOptionalarrayWords to exclude from encoding

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.

Result
{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "text": "Ethay uaresqay oodenway crate asway ackedpay otay ebay ippedshay. Otay avehay isyay etterbay anthay otay aitway andyay hope.",
    "exclusions": [
      "crate",
      "hope"
    ]
  }
}

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.

FieldTypeExampleDescription
textstringEthay uaresqay oodenway crate asway ackedpay otay ebay ippedshay. Otay avehay isyay etterbay anthay otay aitway andyay hope.Text encoded in Pig Latin format
exclusionsarray["crate","hope"]The words left untranslated, echoed back after trimming and de-duplication

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.

StatusWhat it means
400 / 422The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
401The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
403Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
404This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
429Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.

Use cases

Word Game Mechanics
Word game developers transform clues or puzzle prompts into Pig Latin while keeping player names and brand terms intact.
Chat Filter Plugins
Social messaging platforms offer playful message filters that translate conversational dialogue on demand before posting to a room.
Linguistics Practice Tools
To teach phonetics and syllable structures, reading software converts sample vocabulary while protecting punctuation and specific instructional terms.
Spoiler Text Obfuscation
Obfuscate plot spoilers in community discussion boards so readers must decode the Pig Latin sentences manually to see details.
