How to Use the Crowdin MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor automatically check Crowdin translation progress?

Yes, Cursor uses the listprojectfiles tool to check translation progress metrics for your project. The editor reads these percentages to let you know if a target language is ready to deploy.

Q: How does Cursor find my Crowdin glossary terms?

Cursor calls the listglossaries tool to fetch glossary names and language pairs. The editor uses this terminology to suggest correct local translation variables as you write code.

Q: Can I view project screenshots inside the editor?

Yes, the listprojectscreenshots tool retrieves screenshot IDs and linked string tags. Cursor uses this data to show you which strings have visual context without making you open a browser.

Inject translation progress into Cursor code

The `list_project_files` tool extracts file paths, IDs, and translation progress metrics directly into your editor. Cursor uses this live data to write code that dynamically handles untranslated strings. When you run Cursor in Agent mode, the editor looks at these active files to find localization gaps. You don't have to guess if a translation is finished; the editor checks the actual progress percentages.

Query translation memories via this MCP Server

The `list_translation_memories` tool reads your active TM names, IDs, and segment counts. Cursor uses these details to suggest matching segments as you write local configurations. The editor pulls these segment counts to help you decide which translation memories to load for your current branch. This prevents you from writing duplicate strings that already exist in your localization database.

Manage localization tasks with this MCP Server

The `list_project_tasks` tool retrieves active translation and proofreading tasks, including titles and assigned linguists. Cursor displays these tasks directly alongside your source code files. Your editor uses this context to tell you if a file is currently locked for proofreading before you overwrite local changes. This keeps your development branch synchronized with your localization team's active tasks.

Setup guide

Set up Crowdin MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Crowdin MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Crowdin transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Crowdin tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crowdin-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
