Bring Localization
to AutoGen
Learn how to connect Lokalise to AutoGen and start using 13 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Lokalise MCP Server?
Connect your Lokalise account to any AI agent and take full control of your translation and localization workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Project Management — List all translation projects, fetch detailed project metadata, and create new projects directly from the API
- Key Management — Query translation keys with filters by platform, tags, or filenames, plus create and update keys programmatically
- Translation Operations — Fetch translations for any key, add new translations with review/fuzzy flags, and manage multi-language content
- File Import/Export — Upload localization files (JSON, YAML, XLIFF) and generate download bundles in any supported format
- Team & Orders — List team members and their roles, plus inspect professional translation orders
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Lokalise API Token
3. Start managing your localization workflows from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between the Lokalise web console and your codebase. Your AI acts as a dedicated localization coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Developers — instantly create translation keys, push new strings, and pull localized files without leaving the IDE
- Product Managers — check translation progress across languages, review key counts, and monitor team activity
- Localization Teams — automate bulk uploads, generate export bundles, and manage translation orders programmatically

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Lokalise tools. Connect 13 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Lokalise tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign Lokalise tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
- —
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Lokalise tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Lokalise tool responses in an isolated environment
Lokalise in AutoGen
Lokalise and 3,400+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Lokalise to AutoGen through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Lokalise in AutoGen
The Lokalise MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 13 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Lokalise for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the Lokalise MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of Lokalise API token do I need for this integration?
You need a Personal Access Token from your Lokalise account. Go to your profile settings, find the API Tokens section, and generate a new token with read/write access to projects. Keep this token secure as it grants full API access to your account.
How do I add a new translation key to my Lokalise project via the AI agent?
Use the create_key action with the project ID, key name (e.g., homepage.welcome.title), and optionally specify platforms, tags, and a description. The key will be created with the base language placeholder ready for translation.
Can I export all my translations in a specific format like JSON or YAML?
Yes! Use the download_file action and specify the format parameter (e.g., json, yml, xliff, strings, xml). You can also filter by specific languages or filenames to generate targeted export bundles.
Is it possible to add translations programmatically for multiple languages at once?
Yes. The add_translation action supports adding translations for one or more keys at once. You can also mark translations as fuzzy or reviewed to indicate their quality status in the workflow.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Lokalise tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
