MCP support
It connects SimpleLocalize to MCP clients for localization tasks. The README shows configuration in Cursor.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEmcp-simplelocalize
A MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation for SimpleLocalize.
Usage

- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/GalvinGao/mcp-simplelocalize.git
- Install dependencies
uv sync

You may wish to put this at .cursor/mcp.json under your project root, since SimpleLocalize API Key is specific to a single project.
Don't forget to add it to your .gitignore file to avoid exposing your API key.

- Describe your project localization requirements under
.cursorrules. For example:
## Translations
- Put all translations under the `default` namespace
- Language codes supported by this project: `en-US`, `ja-JP`, `ko-KR`, and `zh-Hant`.
- (any other conventions you want the LLM to follow, e.g. key naming style, etc. or just give it some examples would work well)
- Done! Enjoy prompting something like "Localize this component and update it to SimpleLocalize".

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.
