  2. 02Translate text with contextual guidance
  3. 03Translate files while preserving structure
  4. 04View supported languages and quality ratings

Use cases

  1. 01Enable translation in Claude Code, Gemini IDE, or Cursor
  2. 02Localize JSON, YAML, CSV, XML, or Markdown files

MCP support

The client connects i18n Agent translation tools to Claude Code, Gemini IDE, and Cursor. Connected environments can call tools for text translation, file translation, and supported-language listings.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "client-loking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@i18n-agent/mcp-client"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @i18n-agent/mcp-client

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Packages
npm@i18n-agent/mcp-client

Tools

No tool list yet

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

New to MCP?

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.
