Tools
Details
From the project READMEglobalize.now plugin
Localization infrastructure for React, Next.js and Vue apps, usable from your editor or agent.
Connect this plugin and you can run your localization without leaving your workflow: list projects and their target languages, add or remove languages, submit locale files for translation and pull the results back, keep glossaries and per-language style guides consistent, and connect a GitHub repository so translations land in your repo as locale files.
Translations live in your repository, not in a runtime widget.
What you get
A remote MCP server (https://api.globalize.now/mcp) exposing 21 tools:
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Projects | list_projects, get_project, create_project, set_project_context |
| Languages | list_languages, add_project_language, remove_project_language |
| Translation | translate_files, get_translation |
| Glossary | list_glossary, add_glossary_entries, delete_glossary_entry |
| Style guides | list_style_guides, set_style_guide, delete_style_guide |
| GitHub | list_github_installations, start_github_install, detect_repository, list_repository_branches, connect_repository, set_repository_patterns |
Supported file formats: JSON (flat, nested, ARB, Chrome messages.json), PO, XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0, YAML, @wxt-dev/i18n TOML/JSON5/JSONC, Android XML, iOS xcstrings, Markdown and HTML.
Setup
- Install the plugin.
- The first tool call opens a browser window to sign in to globalize.now. Approve access and you're connected.
- No API key, no config file. Authentication is OAuth against your own globalize.now account.
A globalize.now account is required (sign up free). Translation jobs consume account credits.
Example prompts
- "Show my globalize.now projects and their target languages"
- "Add Japanese to my storefront project"
- "Translate these locale files into German and French and show me the result"
- "Add a glossary entry so 'Pro Plan' is never translated"
- "Connect my GitHub repo and use locales/{locale}/{namespace}.json as the path pattern"
Scope
This plugin manages localization projects and translation. Converting hardcoded strings in your source code into i18n keys is done by the globalize.now app or the setup skills — see the developer docs.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
