List and Manage Projects via MCP Server

The `list_projects` tool shows every project in your Weblate instance. You can immediately check the status of multiple projects without leaving your chat window. Need to drill down? Use `get_project` to grab specific details, like which components are missing translations or who last updated the content.

Handle User Accounts and Roles

Want to onboard a new contributor? The `create_user` tool lets you provision accounts directly. You don't have to jump into the web UI for basic setup. Beyond creation, use `add_group_admins` or `create_role` to manage permissions and group membership right from your local machine.

Check Localization Status

Don't guess if a project is ready. The `get_project_repository` tool gives you the overall Version Control System status for any given project. It’s quick and direct: pull in the current state, check commits, or even perform cleanups using `perform_repository_operation`.
