Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Language Detector Engine MCP Server?
Your customer support agent receives a ticket: 'O produto não chegou'. The AI routes it to the Spanish queue. The agent wastes time, the customer gets angry, SLA drops. Why? Because the AI 'guessed' the language probabilistically instead of calculating it.
This MCP uses franc (200K+ weekly downloads, inspired by Google's CLD2) to perform deterministic N-gram language detection. It returns exact ISO 639-3 codes for over 400 languages, and properly returns 'undefined' if a text is too ambiguous rather than hallucinating.
The Superpowers
- 400+ Languages: From English (eng) and Portuguese (por) to Esperanto (epo) and Zulu (zul).
- Exact N-gram Math: Analyzes text strictly by character frequencies, not LLM probability.
- Whitelist/Blacklist: Know the text must be either Spanish or Portuguese? Pass
only: ['spa', 'por']to force a strict evaluation. - Confidence Scores: Use the
allflag to get an array of all matches with their exact probability scores.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Provide as much text as possible for higher accuracy. Detect the language of any text using n-gram analysis. Supports 400+ languages. Returns ISO 639-3 codes (e.g., "por", "eng", "spa")
Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Language Detector Engine as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 1 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Language Detector Engine data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Language Detector Engine tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Why teams choose Vinkius for Language Detector Engine in Claude Code
The Language Detector Engine 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 1 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Claude Code 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.

* Every 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 optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Language Detector Engine for Claude Code
Every tool call from Claude Code to the Language Detector Engine MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this better than asking Claude to detect the language?
LLMs often hallucinate languages for short strings or names. They also struggle to provide standardized ISO codes reliably. This engine uses mathematical N-gram analysis (the same technique behind Google Search language detection) to deterministically map text to one of 400+ ISO 639-3 codes.
What does it mean if it returns 'und'?
'und' stands for Undefined. It means the text is too short, mostly numbers, or too ambiguous to confidently map to a single language. This is a feature — it prevents your routing logic from making false assumptions.
Can I force it to choose between specific languages?
Yes. Pass an array of ISO 639-3 codes to the 'only' parameter (e.g., ['eng', 'por', 'spa']). The engine will only calculate probabilities within that subset.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
