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 Windsurf?
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Language Detector Engine tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 1 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
