Frequently asked questions
Can the AI agent create new translation strings or modify them?
Currently, this integration focuses on listing and retrieving localization data (projects, resources, strings, languages) to ensure read-only safety.
What is the format of the organization and project IDs?
Transifex uses unique slugs prefixed with identifiers, such as 'o:organization-slug' for organizations and 'o:org-slug:p:project-slug' for projects. Your AI will use these to fetch specific details.
Does this integration support multiple Transifex organizations?
Yes, the agent can list and interact with all organizations that your API Token has access to.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
