What is the Weblate MCP Server?

Connect your Weblate instance to any AI agent to streamline your continuous localization and translation management through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Project & Component Management — List all projects, fetch component details, and explore translation files directly from the Weblate API.
  • Language Insights — Retrieve detailed statistics for specific languages to track translation progress and identify missing strings.
  • User & Group Administration — Manage user profiles, list contributions, and handle group roles or administrative permissions.
  • Repository Operations — Perform critical repository actions like pulling updates or pushing translations to keep your version control in sync.
  • Notification Control — List and manage user notification subscriptions to stay updated on translation changes.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Weblate Instance URL and Personal API Token
  3. Start managing your localization projects from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more switching between your IDE and the Weblate dashboard to check translation status or user permissions. Your AI acts as a localization manager.

Who is this for?

  • Localization Managers — quickly check project health, language coverage, and user contributions without manual reporting.
  • Developers — trigger repository syncs and inspect component structures directly from the code editor.
  • DevOps Engineers — automate user provisioning and group role assignments within the localization infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I check the translation progress for a specific language code?

Yes! Use the get_language_statistics tool with the language code (e.g., 'fr'). The agent will return detailed metrics including translated, fuzzy, and failing strings.

02

Is it possible to trigger a Git pull or push from the AI?

Absolutely. Use the perform_repository_operation tool. You can specify the project and component along with the operation (like 'pull' or 'push') to sync with your remote repository.

03

Can I manage user access and view their contributions?

Yes. You can use list_users to see accounts, get_user_contributions to audit translation activity, and add_group_roles to manage permissions programmatically.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

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.

09

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).

10

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

11

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.
