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 teams choose Vinkius for Language Detector Engine in LlamaIndex
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 LlamaIndex 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 LlamaIndex
Every tool call from LlamaIndex 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 does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Language Detector Engine tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
