How to Use the Weblate MCP in Cline

Q: How do I download a full Weblate export with Cline?

Run getprojectfileurl. This function returns the exact URL you need to pull all translations for an entire project as a ZIP file, perfect for CI/CD pipelines.

Q: Can I script Weblate user management using Cline?

Absolutely. You can list users with listusers or manage roles by calling getrole. These data points are essential inputs for a deployment script that needs to verify team access.

Q: How do I check the overall repository status in Weblate using Cline?

Use getprojectrepository first. This gives you the current VCS status of the project, letting your build process know if there are pending commits or conflicts before proceeding with any changes.

Q: If I need to update project details with Weblate and Cline, what do I use?

You'll typically manage this via the getproject tool for viewing current state. While there isn't a direct 'update project' call, knowing the full details allows your agent to structure subsequent updates correctly.

Download Project Translations

Need the source files? Call `get_project_file_url` to get a ZIP download link containing all project translations. You can then pipe that data into local testing scripts or other build tools. It's designed for end-to-end execution: pull the translation zip, run your validation tests against it, and show the resulting diff right in the terminal.

Perform VCS Operations

Cline executes full Version Control System tasks. Use `perform_repository_operation` to push commits, pull changes, or even reset the branch state. You'll specify the operation type (e.g., 'push', 'commit') and let Cline handle the rest. This means you can write a single script that checks Weblate status, pulls the latest translations, stages them, and pushes everything in one go.

Manage Project Structure

Structuring your content is key. Start by listing all components with `list_project_components`. When you need to add a new section or feature area, call `create_project_component` and the component immediately appears in the project hierarchy. This helps maintain clean separation between different parts of the UI or application that need translation.
