How to Use the Crowdin MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline help me find which languages my Crowdin project supports?

Yes. Just ask it. Cline will use the getprojectdetails tool to get the source and target languages for any project you specify.

Let Cline build UIs with live data from your Crowdin projects. It pulls translation stats and writes the code to display them in your app.

Build Live Status Dashboards

Tell Cline to build a localization status dashboard. It'll use the `list_projects` and `list_project_files` tools to fetch real-time translation progress from your Crowdin account. Then, it writes the actual code—a React component, a Vue template, whatever you need. Cline doesn't just show you the data; it builds the thing that displays the data, complete with API calls and tests.

Script Project Audits with Your MCP Server

You can use Cline to run audits on your Crowdin setup. Ask it to "find all projects that don't have a glossary" or "list TMs that haven't been updated." It chains tools like `list_projects`, `list_glossaries`, and `list_translation_memories` to get the answers. This MCP Server gives Cline the read-access it needs to perform these checks. It's like having an assistant who can not only answer questions about your localization setup but also write the scripts to monitor it.

Generate Reports On-Demand

Instead of manually generating reports in Crowdin, just ask Cline to do it. Tell it, "Get me the latest translation cost report for the 'WebApp' project," and it will use `list_project_reports` to find and present the data. This is perfect for quick checks during development or for getting numbers for a meeting without context switching. Cline fetches the info and you stay in your editor, focused on your code.
