List All Users

Start by calling `list_users` to get a list of every contributor attached to your Weblate instance. This is essential for creating an audit log or checking who needs training. The output gives you enough data points—like usernames and basic profiles—to pipe directly into other scripting tools, making it perfect for pre-flight checks in a CI/CD pipeline.

Get API Root Entry Point

When writing scripts, knowing the entry point is everything. Use `get_root` to fetch the Weblate API root URL. This ensures that any subsequent tool calls you make are directed to the correct and current endpoint. It's a quick check that guarantees your headless script won't fail just because the base URL changed.

List All Projects

Need to know what projects exist before you run cleanup? Call `list_projects` to get every project name. You can then loop through this list in your script, checking each one for status or required actions. This discovery capability makes the MCP Server ideal for automated maintenance scripts that need to operate on a collection of targets.
