Multi-agent translation in CrewAI

Assign a specialized agent to use `translate_text` while others handle research or analysis. It keeps your translation tasks isolated within the crew. Your crew collaborates by passing text between agents. The translation agent acts as the bridge for multi-lingual input.

Language detection for CrewAI tasks

Use `detect_language` to allow your moderator agent to route tasks to the correct specialist. It ensures the right crew member handles the request. Your agents adapt their behavior based on the detected language. It makes your crew more flexible.

Inventory language support in CrewAI

Call `list_supported_languages` so your agents know what they can actually translate. It prevents agents from attempting impossible tasks. Your agents query this list before starting a batch job. It saves time and prevents errors.

Setup guide

Set up LibreTranslate API MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke LibreTranslate API tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="LibreTranslate API Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze LibreTranslate API data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct LibreTranslate API access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent LibreTranslate API transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
