What you can do with this MCP connector
This server lets your AI client handle your whole localization flow right from the prompt. You can manage projects, check file statuses, and track translations without even opening the Crowdin web UI. You'll be able to list all your projects, check file metadata, track tasks, and pull up glossaries—it's your central hub for i18n work.
Project Status and Settings
Your agent can use list_projects to list all localization projects in your account, giving you the IDs and language pairings. It can then grab the deep details and status for any specific project using get_project_details. For file-level info, list_project_files shows every file in a project and its current translation progress.
You can drill down further with get_file_details to get metadata for a specific file, including its revision history and translation status.
Tracking Tasks and Progress
Need to see what's moving right now? list_project_tasks lists every active translation and proofreading task for a project, detailing the type, status, and the linguist assigned. To keep tabs on the whole job, list_project_reports pulls up generated reports, like translation costs or progress metrics. If you need visual context, list_project_screenshots lists all screenshots uploaded to a project.
Resource Management
Your agent can use list_glossaries to list all glossaries you've got for managing terminology. You can check out all the available translation memories (TMs) with list_translation_memories, which shows the names and segment counts for each. You can also get a list of all language codes and names supported by Crowdin using list_supported_languages.
Comprehensive Oversight
To get a full picture, your agent can run list_project_files to list every file in a project, and then use list_project_reports to pull progress metrics. You can also use list_project_tasks to see what needs fixing right now. You're always in control of your i18n workflow using these tools.
How Crowdin MCP Works
- 1 Connect the Crowdin integration to your AI client and authorize it using your Personal Access Token.
- 2 Ask your agent to perform a task, like 'Show me the file status for Project X.'
- 3 The agent calls the relevant tool (e.g.,
get_file_details), and you receive the data in plain text.
The bottom line is, your AI agent manages your entire localization workflow using natural language, eliminating the need to switch between tabs or copy-paste data from the Crowdin UI.
Who Is Crowdin MCP For?
Localization Managers, Content Strategists, and Developers who deal with internationalization and translation at scale. If your job involves tracking project progress across multiple languages, this is for you. You're the person who hates logging into a web portal just to check if a file is done.
Checks project progress, lists task statuses, and audits file metadata to ensure translations meet deadlines.
Explores glossaries and supported languages to plan internationalization efforts and verify terminology.
Audits project files and translation memories directly via chat to verify content structures and build integrations.
What Changes When You Connect
- Check project status instantly. Instead of navigating through multiple project dashboards, you ask the agent to run
get_project_detailsto see the current settings and status of any project. - Pinpoint file completion rates. The
list_project_filestool lets you see exactly which files in a project are 100% translated and which ones are falling behind. - Track workflow bottlenecks. Use
list_project_tasksto get a clear list of all pending proofreading or translation assignments, showing who is assigned and when it's due. - Audit terminology quickly. When planning a new locale, run
list_glossariesto see all existing terminology lists and ensure consistency across projects. - Get a project overview. Running
list_projectsgives you a master list of every localization project you run, letting you select which one needs attention. - View historical context. You can use
list_project_reportsto retrieve progress reports or cost analyses without leaving your current workspace.
Real-World Use Cases
Checking project progress on the go
A localization manager needs to know the status of the 'Mobile App' project files. Instead of opening the Crowdin site and clicking through menus, they ask their agent. The agent uses list_project_files and returns a summary: 'en.json' is 100% done, but 'notifications.xml' is only 85% complete. I need to follow up on those remaining files.
Onboarding a new language
A content strategist needs to prepare for launching into German. They ask their agent to run list_supported_languages to confirm 'de' is valid. Then they use list_glossaries to see if there's an existing glossary for German terminology, ensuring the new content uses the right terms.
Finding overdue tasks
A project lead wants to know which tasks are stalled. They ask the agent to run list_project_tasks for the 'Marketing Website' project. The agent lists all tasks, showing the 'Review Help Docs' task is overdue and assigned to John.
Verifying content structure for development
A developer needs to confirm the scope of a project before writing code. They ask the agent to run list_projects to get the project ID, then use get_project_details to see the source/target language settings and overall project status.
The Tradeoffs
Searching the Crowdin UI for details
Opening the Crowdin website, finding the project, clicking 'Files', then finding the specific file, and checking the status. This takes 5-10 clicks and requires multiple page loads.
→
Ask your agent to run get_file_details for the specific file ID. It gets the metadata and status immediately, dumping the required data straight into the chat.
Copying project info manually
Having to copy project names, file IDs, and language pairs from different screens and paste them into a spreadsheet for tracking.
→
Use list_projects to get a full list of all projects and list_project_files to get all associated files and their progress metrics in one go.
Guessing available languages
Assuming a new language code works, only to find out later that Crowdin doesn't support it or the correct locale identifier is needed.
→
Run list_supported_languages first. This confirms exactly what language codes and locales are valid for your account.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if you need to audit, track, or list data across multiple projects or files. It’s built for process oversight, not single-task execution. You must use it if you need to know what projects exist (list_projects), what files are in those projects (list_project_files), or what tasks are pending (list_project_tasks). Don't use it if you just need to translate a single string. For that, use Crowdin's core platform. This server is for the workflow data layer.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Checking project status usually means jumping between dashboards.
Today, checking if the 'Mobile App' project is ready for launch means logging into Crowdin, navigating to the project, finding the 'Files' tab, then checking the percentage for each file. If you need to check five different projects, you repeat this entire process five times, copying and pasting status updates into a separate tracker.
With the Crowdin MCP Server, you simply ask your agent, 'What's the status of the Mobile App project?' The agent runs the necessary tools and returns a structured, summarized report in chat, saving you all the clicks and the manual data entry.
List Project Tasks: Track translation status directly in chat.
Manually, you'd have to go to the 'Tasks' section for Project X, filter by 'Proofreading,' and then scroll through a list of assignments to see who is assigned and if the due date passed. This is tedious, and the data is hard to aggregate.
Now, you just ask the agent to list the tasks. It uses `list_project_tasks` and instantly gives you a clean list of active tasks, their types, and assigned linguists, making it easy to spot bottlenecks.
