How to Use the Transifex MCP in Windsurf
Automate localization tasks in Windsurf, letting Cascade handle multi-step Transifex operations for you.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Transifex MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Transifex to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
List Projects and Organizations with the MCP Server
Want to scope a job? First, use `list_organizations` to see all your accounts. Then, grab project IDs by running `list_projects`, optionally filtering for a specific organization ID. Once you have that slug, you can narrow down resources using `list_resources`. This lets Cascade know exactly which projects we're talking about before it hits the Transifex API.
Get Specific Language and Project Data
Need a specific language code? Just call `get_language` with either an ID or a two-letter code. If you need to target content for one spot, use `get_project(o:org-slug:p:project-slug)`. This lets your AI client pinpoint exactly what needs translating—down to the single resource string using `get_resource`.
Manage Resource Strings and Localization Content
To get all source strings for a piece of content, use `list_resource_strings`, making sure you provide the necessary resource ID. This gives your agent a full list of what needs localization. You can also check existing resources with `list_resource_strings` to make sure you have every needed string pulled into your workflow.
