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")

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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
