Perplexity

Run Caiyun AI Translate directly inside Claude Desktop

The `translate_text` tool gives Claude Desktop direct access to Caiyun's translation engine for quick text conversions. You don't have to copy text to a browser tab anymore. Just paste your text into the chat, and your agent calls `translate_zh_to_en` or `translate_en_to_zh` to translate it instantly. It also handles Japanese and Korean. The agent detects the source language or uses `translate_ja_to_zh` and `translate_ko_to_zh` to convert the text to Chinese. This keeps your entire research workflow inside a single desktop window using this MCP integration.

Auto-detect source languages in your workspace

The `detect_language_via_auto` tool identifies the language of any text block you feed into the chat. Your agent runs this check before choosing the right translation path. It removes the guesswork when you are dealing with mixed-language documents or foreign API responses. You can also check if the translation service is online before running large jobs. Your agent uses `check_caiyun_status` to verify API connectivity. This step prevents wasted API calls and ensures your automated workflows run without hitting silent errors.

Translate multiple text blocks in one go

The `translate_multiple_lines` tool processes batches of text in a single operation. This is useful when you feed local files or log exports into Claude Desktop. Instead of sending fifty separate translation requests, your agent bundles them to speed up the process. You can also use `translate_to_en` and `translate_to_zh` for general direction translations. This setup handles large blocks of raw text without breaking the context window. Your agent gets clean, translated data back to continue its analysis.
