About DeepL MCP Server

Connect your DeepL account to any AI agent and access neural machine translation through natural conversation.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple DeepL tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 14 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

  • Text Translation — Translate text into 30+ languages with optional formality control (formal, informal, or default)
  • Glossary-Powered Translation — Apply custom glossaries to ensure consistent terminology across translations
  • Glossary Management — Create, list, inspect, and delete custom glossaries with TSV term pairs
  • Language Discovery — List all supported source and target languages, and glossary language pair combinations
  • API Usage Monitoring — Track character count consumed, remaining quota, and billing period
  • Document Translation — Monitor the progress of submitted document translations

The DeepL MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

DeepL + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating DeepL MCP Server with Windsurf.

01

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
02

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
03

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
